Caleb was completely shocked when she kissed him back, but found himself grinning like a cheshire cat. He wanted her,  the way she kissed him so gracefully, yet effortlessly, it really did take his breath away. His heart beat had sped up a little bit before she pulled away from the kiss. "..You really are perfect" He muttered to her. There was a sadness deep within him though, because as much as he wanted her above any other maiden in the kingdom, he knew she would never reciprocate. "Why, have I never seen you at these events before?" He asked dangerously, knowing he was steps away from giving himself away. He didn't want to ruin the moment, but it felt like for him, if he continued, he would begin living a lie. There was less for her to know, everything except his name and identity was real. He had been so caught up in things, he didn't want them to end. "I can't help but feel like you're more than what you seem..." he added, not really sure where he was going with this. But fell silent waiting for Cinderella to give him some sort of response that didn't involve her running for the hills when she realized who he really was. He wasn't lowly, but he wasn't heir to the throne either, it made him A Royal Nobody. In short, most people didn't even know who he was.
