“How did it start?” I asked as I waited eagerly for the prince’s response.

“I love how you’re really interested in this…” he said before he chuckled.

He had no idea just how much more I was interested in him than the topic that he was teaching me. I smiled at him as I continued watching him from where I was seated.

“I love how you love that fact that I’m interested…” I replied before my smile widened.

The prince just laughed at my words and my heart danced around rapidly in my chest as I enjoyed the warmth that seemed to course through my body at the sound of his delighted laugh. I still found it unusual how his words and everything that he did could have a direct effect on my body the way that it did although he was sitting so far away, and we were not touching.
