[color=0072bc][b]"The garden? I'll have to give it a look!"[/b][/color] Freya smiled. Sitting back as Annie began sorting through dresses suited for the events and others not-so-suited for such an occasion, she listened as her friend began to write off the different names of who would be there. She nodded, noting their names. Giggling as Annie called dibs, she smiled. [color=0072bc][b]"That's fine. I think I've got my eye on another attendee anyway."[/b][/color] She joked, and felt herself tense hearing the last name she had read off to her. Alex...Durnham? Oh, that was going to be...a bit problematic. It didn't take them long to settle on a cute cocktail dress and heels with matching accessories for her event tomorrow. [color=0072bc][b]"Thank you Annie, I can't wait to see you at the party."[/b][/color] The girls departed and Freya wasted no time to returning to her room for the evening. Undressing, she showered and put on a comfy pair of pajamas. She let herself get lost in thought about Alex and how he would end up behaving at the party. Hearing someone knock on her door, she looked up, and wiped at her eyes. Moving to open the door, she looked surprised to see James standing there, with hot chocolate of all things! Holding back the urge to embrace him as soon as she saw him, she invited him in and looked at the clock. Taking the hot chocolate, she took a sip. [color=0072bc][b]"Thank you, James. I...have some news about the attendees."[/b][/color] Pausing to take another drink of the warm chocolate, she began to pace. [color=0072bc][b]"James...Alex is going to be at the party."[/b][/color] Her brows furrowed and she took another sip.[color=0072bc][b] "He's going to be there, James!"[/b][/color] She whispered. [color=0072bc][b]"What are we going to do? I-I mean..I know what I have to do. But you saw him! He's going to totally be....Alex."[/b][/color] That was the nicest she could describe him. [color=0072bc][b]"I'm going to have to be nice to him tomorrow..."[/b][/color] Freya paused her pacing to run a hand through her long brown hair. [color=0072bc][b]"I wasn't expecting this. I should've known. I should've been paying attention during Daddy's lectures on the heirs a little more. Did you know, James? That Alex was an heir to one of the companies my father deals with?"[/b][/color]
