The Reunion by Grace Walker Page B

laughed and tossed Ty's shirt over his head.  "Damn Em don't you have any smaller bras?"
    "No."  She yelled from the bathroom.  The chill finally leaving her skin.  She'd never felt that cold even jumping in the ocean.  Ty must have put ice in the water.
    "Where's your bathing suit?  Got it.  When did you start wearing bikinis again?"
    "That's my first since I had Mike."
    "You're joking."  Toni pulled the shirt off Brockton's head.  "Thanks love.  See you later."  She smiled, and kissed him on the cheek. "Em!  I'm heading for my room."
    "Your key is on the night stand."
    "He left it here?"
    "No it was in his wallet with his."  Em came out of the bathroom dressed and looked at Toni in her clothes and sighed.  "I wish I filled those jeans out that well."
    "You do fine."  Brockton smiled and the two women looked at him.
    "Thank you."  Em pocketed two card keys; hers and Ty's.
     
    "Twenty minutes later a bottle of Dom and his card key arrived with a note saying they were tied at two a piece.  Game over."  Bea informed her sisters.
    "And the Rizzolis and O'Bryans haven't jumped in yet?"  Hanna asked.
    "Not yet."  Bea liked nothing better than hearing her daughter had pulled one on Ty.  Hannah smiled.  Martha scowled.
    "The last time they got these practical jokes escalating like this we ended up driving a couple of them to the emergency room."
    "Scrapes and bruises, no permanent damage.  Hi Mom."  Ty kissed Martha. "Aunties."
    "Tyler, I don't want you putting anyone in the hospital.  I want you to show some restraint."  Hannah scolded in her best teacher's voice.
    "Too late.  Did you see the bathtub and lobby pictures?"  He pointed to a table with a cork board which displayed several pictures of people arriving, memorable shots from previous reunions, group shots as well as pictures of Em and Toni.
    "I think you did a very nice job with Toni's you could tell she was naked but in only an evocative way."  Hannah sipped her tea.  "Printing them in black and white was a nice touch."
    "The Rizzolis have a contract out on me."  Ty joked and kissed Hannah on the cheek.  "I've got a shipment of date rape drugs coming in and I should get some really graphic stuff for the Internet later."
    "Don't even joke."  Bea slapped him in the arm.  "Don't you have boundaries or rules?"
    "Yes we have boundaries."  He smiled charmingly.  "No rules and only our personal moral code of conduct."
    "You have no morals."  Toni put her arm around his waist.  "Nice lighting darling. I like that they’re in black and white, makes it real artistic."  She looked up at him.  "You got Em's note?"
    "And my key back."
    "I got mine too." Toni smiled broadly.  Ty blushed slightly.
    "I wasn't going to keep it."
    "It just wouldn't have been in my room.  Naughty boy."  She kissed his cheek and wandered over to another group.  "Auntie Beatrice, Josh is looking for you."
    "Where is he?"
    "I saw them over by the desserts a few minutes ago.  Does anyone have a count yet?"
    "We're pushing 350 I think I heard."  Lou was still scanning the faces throughout the room.  She couldn't be prouder of the way the "kids" had handled the reunion.  They'd hired a photographer who was taking individual pictures as well as family group shots for the reunion yearbook.  Everything was beautifully done.
    "That's more than the Fort Worth one in 1994.  This is wonderful."  Aunt Louise observed as she joined their conversation.  She was the oldest of the four remaining sisters.
    "Aunt Lou."  Ty hugged his aunt.  "I didn't see you at the casino last night."
    "I was downtown watching that Laser show."
    "Ah, we have to do that too."  Bea smiled.  "I've been to six shows so far."
    "Whose ahead of you?"  This was yet another competition.  Bea didn't gamble and kept score of the number of shows she went to.  She'd also keep track of who else was going to shows.
    "Sarah.  She's ahead by one.  She's counting the piano player with the singer at
