yet, anyway.”
    Tj had dated Hunter all through high school. Everyone, including Tj, had thought they’d marry, but they’d ended up breaking up while they were in college. After they’d both returned to Serenity to pursue their careers there, they’d reestablished their friendship, but they hadn’t started dating again until the previous winter.
    “Will Hunter be at the reunion?”
    “He will,” Tj confirmed.
    “Awesome. It’ll be nice to see him. Did he end up being a doctor like he always talked about?”
    “Yes. His dad retired, so he’s running the hospital.”
    “Good for him. It seems like our graduating class turned out all kinds of successful adults. I can’t wait to catch up with everyone. I heard the reunion committee is expecting a good turnout.”
    “We are,” Tj confirmed. “The entire resort has been reserved by alumni, and I know a good seventy percent of our graduating class have bought tickets for the dance.”
    “I’m really looking forward to seeing everyone. Have you heard whether Brett Conrad is going to attend?” Vicki asked.
    “Actually, he is. I guess you heard he married Jessie Baldwin.”
    “No, I hadn’t.” Vicki sounded disappointed. She, along with half of the girls in their class, had had a thing for Brett. He’d not only helped their high school football team to win the state championship that year but had also gone on to play pro ball until he blew out a knee. He was now a sportscaster for one of the big networks.
    “I guess I should go find my other sister before she gets into any trouble. Give me a call and we’ll grab lunch,” Tj suggested. “It would be fun to catch up. We can meet at Jenna’s restaurant, and maybe she can join us.”
    “Please tell me that Jenna and Dennis ended up getting hitched.”
    Like Tj and Hunter, their friends had dated all through high school.
    “They did, and they’re very happy. They have two beautiful daughters who are about the same ages as my sisters.”
    “It’s so odd to run into people who have kids who are almost in middle school when I haven’t even found my prince charming. I’m hoping to hook up with someone at the reunion. I dated a lot of guys in high school. One of them must still be single.”
    Tj gave Vicki her cell number and said her good-byes, then gathered Gracie and her costume to go in search of Ashley.
    “I changed my mind about the face paint,” Ashley informed Tj when she tracked her down at the back of the store. “I want this instead.”
    Ashley held up a hideous mask.
    “Sounds like an easy costume. What are you going to wear with it?”
    “I’m going to see if either Papa or Grandpa have an old shirt I can rip up. I’ll just wear an old pair of jeans on the bottom.”
    “Wonderful. Sounds like the easiest costume ever. The line to check out is a mile long. We should get going.”
    “Can we go look at the window display while you’re in line?” Gracie asked.
    Tj glanced at Ashley. “Will you go with your sister and will you behave?”
    Ashley shrugged. “Yeah. I wouldn’t mind looking at the decorations, and my friends left anyway.”
    Ashley took Gracie’s hand and headed toward the front of the store while Tj got in line behind Doreen Sullwold.
    “It’s going to be Halloween before we get through this line,” Doreen complained. “It’s moving so slowly that I sent Vicki next door for ice cream.”
    “It does seem like they’d hire extra help for the holiday,” Tj agreed.
    Doreen began transferring the items she was holding to a cart that had just become available. Luckily, all Tj had was a princess dress and a mask, so holding them while she waited wasn’t a problem.
    “Did you hear that Jane Good has asked the reunion committee to consider electing an alumni king and queen in addition to the usual homecoming king and queen the students elect?”
    Tj frowned. “I have to say I’m not a huge fan of the idea. For one thing, it would distract from the attention that
