Escalator

L'escalator..., a photo by LPiH on Flickr.

I met Lisa on escalators, would you believe it?
You know those movie scenes, two staircases run alongside each other in opposite directions, a man going down and a woman going up, two glances meet ... a spark bursts and magic begins!
No, my dear, nothing so cinematic ... I'm afraid it was more prosaic.
We were on the same escalator and we were going up. I had to hurry and I went up running on the steps in motion. One false step, my foot off and I nearly trample everyone behind me.
Luckily she steadied me ... and she never stopped doing it.
