Tessa had never met Grace in person but from what she had heard of her and the few phone conversations they had held, she wasn't adverse to the embrace and gave a light response in kind.<br/>"It's so good to finally meet you, I've looked forward to this for weeks now."<br/>Smiling widely Tessa had to look away as she blushed a little at the invitation, given what knowledge she had gleaned about Grace she wasn't sure if that was really true and if it wasn't something worth trying with Rex in the bedroom.<br/>"Oh thank you, I bought it in London when Rex took me there for a business trip. I believe the department store was called Liberty & Co."<br/><br/>Shown to their bedroom Tessa turned to Rex and took the suitcase with her things from him.<br/>"Go on ahead, I'll just change into something lighter."<br/>A few minutes later Tessa came down wearing a halterneck bikini similar to Britt Ekland's patterned two piece in The Man with the Golden gun beneath a turqoise sundress and a fresh layer of peachy nude lipstick, her doe eyes really lending themselves well to the long-lashed ideal.<br/><br/>Coming out onto the patio just as Grace offered Rex a beer Tessa contemplated accepting the offered wine but thought better of it, she got so very giddy when drinking. Before too long she was greeted by two of her husband's friends and smiled warmly at Jim before taking Terry's hand<br/>"I'm Tessa, yes. I don't know how Rex managed to shorten my nickname even further but well, he did. It's lovely to meet all of you too."
