Quite some time back, I discovered a potential key moment in the anakin-padme romance is in the deleted scene "padme's parents' house". There's a light hearted moment here where sola teases her sister about anakin, but padme simply dismisses him as just a boy, though her mum gives her the all-knowing look. Up till then, padme's been treating anakin exactly just that, reminding him "you'll always be that little boy I knew on tatooine" and telling him "dont try to grow up too fast". She even tried to boss him around in front of the Naboo council.
Now just before this deleted scene cuts away, take a look at the expression on padme's face. I'm not sure exactly what it is, but it looks like she's begining to have either a change in perspective towards anakin (notice her eyes are assessing anakin) or a realisation of the burried feelings she's had for him all this while even as she considers sola's words (hey she still keeps that little carving anakin gave to her). This little bits when palced right before scene 19 "stolen kiss" rather than on its own in disc2, actually helps to make the shift in padme's attitude towards anakin more believable

As an avid reader, I'll say this: most SW stories from Ep. 1 to 6 are based on early movie scripts. That was why in the book of Ep. 2 there was mention of Padme's house but there was not in the final cut of the movie.
