Woman Falls With Broken Heel

This was something like straight out of movie. It caught my attention and a few others in Downtown Chicago last week.

I nice looking woman was running or actually scooting along in high heels when she falls gracefully to the sidewalk. Here bag went flying and many of her papers went flying with it. Out of the crowded rushing lane of people going to work in the morning rush hour. appears this nice looking guy in suit who grabs her papers starting to fly away. He grabs her bag and catches her arm on her way up thanking him trying to conceal her embarrassment. I saw their eyes met with a unique look as she then thanked him a few times he just kept asking her if she was OK. Now with a broken shoe heel she really was in a bad place. By this time the few onlookers that stopped  went off their merry way but my voyager self wanted to see what now would happened. So after a minute I could see they were talking and discussing probably how the hell she was going to get to work. Then all of sudden he sees a cab runs out to middle of street and flags it down. He helps her into the cab and I don't think she saw this but he handed the cab drive a bunch of cash. Just as they were saying goodbye and she started to close the door I saw the door reopen and her arm outstretched with perfectly polished nails handing him what was most probably  her business card. He said something smiled and she slowly closed the door and off she went and he grinning ear to ear walked away.  As I walked back on my pedestrian journey to my workplace I couldn't help to think how could this simple act of kindness could lead to some great romance. Now I was smiling pondering on how that would be so amazing!
