Gray?"
"Shut up, Cam," Graydon said, annoyed."We're going for cocktails." He hit the elevator button again.
"Sure you are, brother dear," Cameron said. "Well, don't do anything I wouldn't do."
"That leaves a lot of room, doesn't it?" Graydon said.
"Hah-hah." Cameron glared at him. "So not funny."

"We're out of here."The elevator door opened, and he and Adrienne stepped inside.
Immediately, Graydon grabbed Adrienne and kissed her passionately. Adrienne pressed her body into his. By the time they arrived at the ground floor, she could barely breathe.

"S o you want to check out Hush?" Parker asked Liz. "It's supposed to be super hot. We could go tonight, if you're free."
Liz pulled her phone away from her ear and stared at it.
It had been a whole week since she had heard from him.And now he was asking her out on a date, as if every- thing were totally normal.
"Liz?" his voice came from the phone.
She quickly brought it back to her mouth. "Yeah, sure," she said as casually as possible.
"Great. See you at seven." He clicked off.
Maybe that's how he needs to cope, she thought. By pre- tending as if everything is still the same. Liz was determined that she'd be there for Parker, no matter what it was he needed.
She dialed Adrienne. "Hey, it's me. Listen, I know we were supposed to hang tonight, but Parker just called and asked me to go out."

"That's great!" Adrienne said.
"You're not mad?" Liz asked. "You're cool with it if I ditch you?"
"Of course!" Adrienne assured her. "Parker has finally come around. You've been going crazy not hearing from him."
"True," Liz admitted.
"Hey, why don't you still sleep over? You already set it up with your mom. And we can go over every detail of your fabulous date with Parker."
"Great idea. See you tonight."
An hour later, Liz hopped into a cab and sailed down- town. Hush was a new hot spot in the meatpacking district, a neighborhood that was once gritty and scary but was now filled with cutting-edge designers' stores and celebrity hangouts.
Liz paid for the cab and got out, running lightly across the cobblestones in her high heels. Tall, thin women and expensively dressed men climbed out of limos or strolled the crooked streets and window-shopped around her. Paparazzi snapped pix of the young stars of a hot WB teen- soap walking into the restaurant ahead of her.
Parker was right, Liz thought as the sleekly dressed doorman held open the door for her, this place is seriously happening.
"Welcome to Hush," the hostess greeted her. The

young woman was as beautiful as any of the celebrities in the place. Liz figured that being hot must be a job require- ment, since every single person working there--from the waitresses to the busboys to the bartenders--was drop- dead gorgeous.
"I'm meeting Parker Devlin," Liz said.
The woman gave her a startled look but recovered quickly. "Do you have a reservation?" she asked, glancing down at the thick book on the hostess stand.
"I--I think so," Liz said. She realized that the hostess must have heard the news. I suppose all of New York City knows the Devlin name now--and not just for the records and movies they've produced.
"Ah, yes, here it is." The hostess smiled graciously at Liz, obviously wanting to make up for her almost faux pas. "Mr. Devlin hasn't arrived yet. Would you like to wait in the lounge or at the table?"
"The table, please," Liz said, beginning to feel a little self-conscious standing alone and surrounded by so many beautiful people.
"And may I check your coat?" the hostess offered.
"Thanks," Liz said, handing over her heavy winter coat.
The hostess nodded to a handsome young man in a severe black jacket and baggy black pants. He strode over to the hostess stand."Giancarlo will see you to your table," the hostess said.
