Knowing that they were going to be heading down some stairs soon I changed my route again so that I would be approaching them just before they started descending.
My intuition was right, as I rounded the corner I saw the two approaching the stairs, then quickly glance up at me before they headed down
I decided that I would now go all the way back to my front door.
This however proved not such a good idea.
Despite listening out hard for people approaching (footsteps) I failed to notice the guy I was about to cross right in front of.
I didn’t see him until the last minute and by this time has was no more than 10 feet from me approaching from the side.
My heart skipped a few beats.
