Not just the way he spoke, which was pleasant to the ear, but there was something regal in every little movement he made. Even his blinks seemed to exude nobility; the slight curl of his lips was attractive, and the way he looked at her made her feel special.
It was flattering, enough to make a woman's heart swell with appreciation.

"You're a little old-fashioned, aren't you?" she blurted out, only to get nervous when his brows rose. "Oh, sorry, I didn't mean it that way."
