She was just a poor servant girl and he was the son of a rich industrialist.\u003cbr\u003eEr, no, this is a Christopher Brookmyre novel, although the eyes meeting across a crowded room part is true.  Where it differs from the fairy tales is that the room in question was crowded with hostages and armed bank-robbers, and his eyes were the only part of him she could see behind the mask.
