Do you follow?

Emerging from the arcade onto the High Street, sunshine making him smile and blink and want to sneeze. Crossing the road - directing his feet to the sunny side of the street. A woman walking on the pavement ahead. His strolling, taking it easy pace working out the same as her short-legged hurrying. The first hint is she’s looking back and seems to hunch a little. Not following her but how it must seem. Starting to walk faster to overtake her but that is worse. Turning off on a side road. The longer way home.
