Alessandra nodded in agreement at Avril's words. Boys in a ball like the one they were in do tend to flock together. "I suppose the boys have a streak of shyness in them as well." She shrugged and chuckled when her eyes fell on the group who had been surrounding the princess earlier. They were all looking towards both girls. Averting her eyes, she turned her attention to Avril's compliment. "Thank you. You look fantastic yourself." She grinned and then began scanning the dance floor.

"...Anyone turned your head?"

Funny how Alessandra's eyes fell on Edward when his younger sister asked the question. But the prince was busy. He was still engrossed in the woman in his arms as he twirled and swept her across the room. He was, undoubtedly, one of the exceptionally handsome men in the room and several women stared as he danced, their eyes openly envying his partner. 

Alessandra realized she was doing exactly the same thing the envious women were doing. She almost laughed out aloud.

"No, not really." Alessandra answered, taking her eyes off the eldest royal son. This time, she looked around in search for a particular face. "Where's Stephen?" She asked when she couldn't find him.
