AN: Happy New Year! I finished this story approximately 41 minutes before January 1, 2008, in my corner of the world. It was inspired, quite obviously, by the song King of Wishful Thinking, which, as I understand, is originally by Go West. I've only heard New Found Glory's cover of it, though, and it is an amazing song and so very perfect for Nate and Serena. Constructive criticism is much appreciated.
