Inspired by "Enchanted" by Taylor Swift
She laughed at another boring joke. Caroline was a bit tired of forcing polite smiles and mingling with all of these lame distinguished people. She let out a sigh and found a patch of quiet within the grand ballroom to sip her champagne.
She made a fleeting glance to a man across the room and forced her gaze to go back. They made eye contact which made everything boring and vacant vanish into thin air.
She smiled and he quickly made his away to her without tearing his gaze away from her and ignoring all others trying to get his attention.
"Good evening. I'm Klaus." he said before kissing the back of Caroline's hand.
"Pleasure to meet you Klaus, I'm Caroline."
She spent the rest of the night by his side. They danced, they joked, secretly laughed at other guests. She really couldn't think of another time in her life where she's had nonstop fun and great conversation with just one person.
She felt butterflies in her stomach the entire time as she made her way home. It's as if she had them all night but the only thing that eased them was Klaus' presence.
He didn't really make a move when they had to part. Her heart fluttered when he leaned in to whisper:
"You completely turned my night around Caroline." He helped her put on her jacket and kissed her on the cheek and bid her goodnight.
Caroline prayed that their encounter wouldn't end like that but she decided to stay satisfied that their time together was flawless. There had to be a reason for him not making a move…she hoped he wasn't already with someone else and that he didn't just stay with her out of pity.
She kept turning around a million possibilities in her head by the time she made it to her door. She reached into her pocket to get her keys and pulled out a small piece of paper along with the keys.
She was puzzled until she opened it and read it.
"All I can say is I was enchanted to meet you."
On the back was his number and a ;).
