Time sped by, and before we knew it, the day of the engagement party was upon us.
Andrew had taken full control of the preparations, opting to hold it at his manor for ease.
To create a splash, the party was extraordinarily lavish. The manor was adorned with vivid decorations, which were so bright that they illuminated the night like daylight. Each pathway was lined with vibrant balloons, and cheerful cartoon signs dotted the Landscape.
The stylists and makeup artists had arrived early in my room to prepare me thoroughly, making sure every hair was perfectly styled.
The preparations spanned several hours.
At last, my hair was styled into a princess-like bun, and I wore a pink lace gown with a trailing skirt and an open back that highlighted my silhouette, paired with golden high-heeled sandals.
After I was fully dressed, Nora, who had stayed by my side, couldnt contain her awe. Her eyes twinkled like stars, and she blinked in astonishment, then offered a heartfelt compliment. Debra, you look absolutely breathtaking! You really do look like a beautiful princess from a fairy tale!
I ran my fingers through my hair and chuckled, feeling a bit shy.
Thanks, Nora.
Just then, the door swung open.
A man in a sharply tailored bright white suit and a pale pink tie, matching my dress, stood in the doorway.
It was Andrew.
As he entered and caught sight of me, his expression shifted to one of awe, and he paused, momentarily rooted to the spot.
Ha-ha! Nora chuckled and teased, Debra, I told you; you look Like a princess, and look, even Mr. Pierce, who hardly notices anyone, is mesmerized.
Blushing, I murmured, Nora, stop it. Andrew was just taken aback for a second.

look more beautiful today than ever. Im proud to be your fiance.
I returned his smile with a modest one of my own. And you are quite the handsome sight yourself. Im equally honored to be engaged to you.
Andrews smile widened as he glanced at the clock. The partys about to start, and everyones waiting. May I escort you downstairs?
Of course. I nodded.
Andrew reached out his hand to me. When our hands met, a wave of warmth flowed between us.
For a moment, everything seemed strangely familiar, as if we had experienced it before.
A sharp sense of loss washed over me. Could Caleb and I have had moments like this? Unfortunately, those days were long gone
With a deep breath, I let go of these reflections and followed Andrew to the grandest hall in the manor.
It was my second time at a large banquet, but this time I felt more at ease. Arm in arm with Andrew, I entered the hall with a serene confidence.
