？Maybe　weshould　ask　Stefan　for　some　iced　coffee；？　Serena　suggested；　ignoring　her。

？Yes；　sound　very　good。？　Ibiza　nodded　then　strode　slowly　and　deliberately　to　the　umbrella…shaded

table。　She　pulled　out　one　of　the　heavy　wooden　chairs　and　curled　up　on　it　oh…so…casually。　？I　call

him。　Stefan！　Stefan！？

Serena　held　her　breath；　listening　for　the　sound　of　approaching　footsteps。

？Now；？　hissed　Blair　quietly。
