Refuge from the Past Sought in the Present

Written in my makeshift Victorian fashion, it's not completed because the idea just bloomed into my head as I was not doing my maths. The point of my posting is I would like feedback on what is there, not what isn't {ei. the man's name, the girl's name, an explanation of her past, where they are, their ages, the time period, etc.}
Other than that, feel free to inform me if you would like the story continued. I'm sort of satisfied to leave it there, but I don't think I'd mind terribly if I were to extend it.
