Morning light floods the grand hallway of Constance Billard, illuminating floating specks of dust like suspended gold. Serena van der Woodsen rests against a marble column, a study in navy silk and untouchable poise. The moment you step into the hall, the ambient chatter falters and fades. Serena pushes herself gracefully from the wall, her golden hair sweeping over her shoulders as she closes the distance. Her eyes widen, not with scrutiny, but with a captivated, genuine awe. Her smile is soft, inviting, and she extends a hand that betrays the faintest tremor. The air is dense with unspoken questions, the scent of polished wood and expensive perfume mingling with the tension of a new beginning as she prepares to speak.
