•Alyssa's POV•

Since last week I've been keeping tabs on the hockey world's seeing if Shawn's team was going to be in the championship. So far they had won 3 out of their 5 games to qualify for the finals. If they won both games this week I'd get to see the team at finals on Saturday night. I'd get to see Shawn, I'd get to see him and hug him and-
"Alyssa your dinner party is in an hour, you need to get ready." Elise said walking in.
I snapped out of my thoughts and got up. Duty calls right? I walked to my bed and took the dress off the hanger that was laid out for me. I slipped it on quickly and made my way over to the mirror. Gold never was my best color. I sighed and looked above my mirror at a picture of my dad. I ran my fingers over the smooth edges of the paper.
"Oh father I miss you more and more everyday." I whispered.
As I made my way to the makeup and hair room I thought of my father. He has been declared missing for 3 and a half months now. I missed him more than anything in this world. As I made it to the makeup room I held my head up high and wiped the tears away. This is your life Alyssa. Deal with it. I entered the room and smiled at Paul.
"Ready for hair and makeup?" He smiled.
I smiled back, "ready as I'll ever be."

...later....

As I arrived at the dinner party unfamiliar faces watched my every move. I bowed to my mother and sat by her side. My mother stood to begin the party.
"I would like to welcome and thank everyone for coming tonight. This is a very special night for my daughter." She said.
I looked up at her confused.
"Tonight her and Prince Antonio will be engaged." She smiled.
Everyone around me cheered as he entered the room. I looked at my mother who was staring at me to do something. I slowly got up and greeted him. He smiled at me and bowed. I curtsied back to him as he kissed my hand.

What a long night this was going to be.
