Dora and Humphrey, New York, 1875

"Oh!" the young lady exclaims as she's bumped from behind into the young man's arms, her satchel dropping from her hands. "I beg your pardon, sir."
"It's quite all right. It is very busy today."
The dark haired stranger bends down to retrieve the dropped bag, brushing her hand as she attempts to do the same. Blushing, the young lady straightens up and allows him to collect her luggage for her.
As she gives the young man her thanks and regards, the girl's soft grey eyes meet his; they both go still and look upon each other. For the first time since her betrothal, she wishes she wasn't already promised to another. In the warm brown eyes before her, she sees wonder, strength, and something more that calls to her heart.
"All aboard!" The station master's announcement brings the fair haired maiden back to reality. She has a duty to fulfil and a fiancé to meet. So as she follows her mother to the train, she resolves herself to her fate once more.
But young lady turns her head to look upon the kind-hearted young man one last time before boarding the train...
And finds him gone.
