    Heading Home

    You're on the train on your way home from work. You're wearing a white oxford, black blazer, trousers, no tie. You have a manila file in front of you. At the next stop, a woman sits down in the seat across the aisle. She's well dressed in wool trousers, wool coat, cashmere wrap scarf. Her hair is shoulder-length. You notice her as you notice all women; this one is pretty and smart-looking.

    If she dropped her lipstick and you both bent down to get it, you'd notice something else. Her hair is not quite tidy. The buckle on her shoe is broken. Also, she has that smell. What has she been up to?
