met her, and the rest of the <em>Gossip Girl <\/em>cast, at an LA deli.<\/p>\n<p><span\/>&#8220;I couldn&#8217;t get a total read because, even though she professes to have been interested in me and all those things, not only did she not pursue that, I mean, she was perfectly willing to let that never happen,\u201d Brody added. &#8220;Yeah, she was perfectly willing to let that message in the bottle return to sea at several points.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Leighton might have been &#8220;elusive&#8221; and &#8220;aloof&#8221; after their first meeting, but this really just reinforces the idea that
