This is how the story usually goes:

Cinderella and Prince Charming met at the ball in a dance, under the eyes of the others.
Upon midnight, Cinderella left in a hurry before all magical effects disappeared.
In the process, she left a glass shoe.
Using the only clue aka glass shoe, Prince Charming searched all over the kingdom for Cinderella.
Eventually, he found her. They got married and lived happily ever after.

End of story.

I've always been amazed at how Prince Charming and Cinderella can fall in love with each other in just one night. What is so romantic about the story? Some say it's the extent that Prince Charming can go to to find the lady he loved. The only conclusion: Cinderella is too beautiful.

There are some similarities to the story.

It was also a ball.
It was also in a dance where the first meeting took place, also under the eyes of many others.
Upon reaching home, reduced back to the usual be-spectacled, messy haired, rundown dressed and careless self, which I am sure he will not recognize. (There is really a very great difference when being dressed up and dressed down)
Anyway, this story ended even before midnight. Haha.

But now I can understand where the most romantic part of the story is.

It is the moment of connection between Prince Charming and Cinderella.

Well, at least Cinderella left a glass shoe.
I only left a name.

WAKE UP! IT'S ALREADY MORNING! STOP DREAMING!

Okay. I'm not thinking or hankering after much. I admit I am no great beauty. I am content to have once been part of the story.
