Summary
Paris has to admit, watching Rory strip for her, that she does have a certain small-town charm. She’s half-in, half-out of the world Paris has always inhabited, insulated from its worst aspects due to her caring (enmeshed, Paris thinks with a little of her old disdain) mother, but also craving a sense of belonging to it, of wanting to breathe its rarefied air. Rory, at Chilton, was doing debutante balls and entering Society like Society is something worth entering. Paris never had a choice. She’s not sure she would choose differently (she’s incredibly far from stupid; she has eyes; she can see what types of people make it to Yale), but Rory did have choices. She could’ve gone anywhere she wanted. She could’ve gone to any of Connecticut’s wonderful state universities if she wasn’t such a snob. She could’ve gone out of state, for Christ’s sake. But she’s here, at Yale, a legacy admit, though one with a killer resume in her own right; she’s here, like Paris, and Paris has no choice but to pursue excellence and everything she wants in life, in the hopes she’ll get any of it in the end.
Right now, what she wants is to see Rory naked.
