Idea For A Story?

I've had a cool idea floating around in my head ever since I sort of re-wrote Empathica on the plane here. I thought of a story set in the early nineteenth century following a doll-like little girl who falls under the longing gaze of a young man and how the two relate to each other. I dunno, just an idea. It's like a more romantic version of my whole Melanie-Mr. Crepsley thing.

I have them pictured in my mind so perfectly. The man: early twenties, sleek dark ponytail elegantly tied back, comfortably wealthy, dresses in dark clothes, composer, and scientist's assistant. Charming and reserved, but occassionally violent and a slight issue with alcohol. The girl: maybe twelve, relatively small and doll-like for her size, blonde curls, fair skin, wears simple dresses, dances, and born to wealthy high class parents. Mature for her age and light hearted, but ignorant and easily manipulated.

Oh gosh, they sound a bit like good ol Davin and little Arabelle. Hopefully I can work with this because frankly, it's a cool idea in my mind, despite how scandalous it is. If Deb can sleep with nasty old man Lundy, I can have a yound guy take interest in a charming little girl. The taboo aspect is interesting!

And I still want to re-visit Empathica, and rename it because apparently Stephen King owns that word in his stories. Dammit, Nightwish! Be more original!
