    Chuck: Go ahead, I'll fill her in later.
    Serena: I left in a hurry. I felt so terrible, so guilty for what I'd just done. I just.. I had to get out of there. Georgina and I had plans to meet up after, so I headed straight to her... little did I know, she had a surprise waiting for me. edit »
