... party go last night? We were all asleep when you got back."
Tami gulped down a piece of pie without bothering to chew. After a second she decided to focus on the beginning of the party, when it was a small affair with close friends. "It took some getting used to, but they were O.K. People change a lot when they come back from college."
More irritating laughter.
Tami politely declined the offer of brandy as everyone again sat around in the living room. Alcohol brought back memories of last night. And so did Preston when he said, "Time for a picture!" This was an annual event, having been taken over by Preston in recent years because he had gotten enthusiastic about photography and now wanted to show off his new delayed-action camera.
Tami couldn't very well decline to be part of the family portrait in front of the fireplace. But she did manage to get in behind everyone else so that she was sure that nothing showed but her face and maybe her neck. It would look maybe only like she was wearing a low-cut blouse. Just before Preston set the timer and ran to strike a hammy pose kneeling in front of everybody, Tami's father took the grade report off his desk and gave it to Tami. "Show your A's for the camera!"

As she blinked the purple dots from her eyes and slowly put the grade report back on her father's desk, she shuddered inside. This picture was going to end up in photo albums that will be looked at from now until forever. She was naked at college, she was naked in front of her friends, and now she will be naked to her family and cousins and anyone else who is shown the picture. "There's cousin Tami, she's a nudist . . ." There was no way she could put this whole nude episode behind her now. Her nudity was enshrined for eternity. She'd might as well stay naked for life.
In this stunned state of mind, she sat and decided to take a nip of brandy after all.
The naked girl felt the cold drafts acutely as the door opened and her relatives, bundled up, hugged her and the others as they left. She stood behind her father and briefly watched them go down the front path before she turned, hugging herself, and went to the couch. For a while after that she was pensive, going through the same ...
