e　Yankees　cap　jogged　by　wearing　an　I

LOVEAARONT…shirt　over　her　red

velour　tracksuit；　the　same　I　LOVEAARONT…shirt　that　Serena　had　worn　at　the　Les　Best　show。

Aaron　was　pretty　sure　the　blond　was　the　actress　Renee　Zwingdinger；　or　whatever　her　name　was；

but　he　couldn？t　be　sure。　It　was　pretty　funny　to　think　that　famous　actresses　and　models　might　be

wearing　shirts　with　his　name　on　them　when　he　was　just　some　dude　who　went　out　with　a　beautiful

？Mookie！？　Serena　squealed；　crouching　down　to　kiss　the　dog　on　his　wet　nose　as　he　wriggled

excitedly　between　her　legs。　？How？s　it　going；　handsome？？

Aaron　ambled　over　to　the　footbridge；　his　hands　shoved　deep　into　his　green　army　pants
