This was a wonderful entry to the challenge – the slight twist in genre as well as the surprise was skilfully done. My only quarry is with the last sentence. I think I would have preferred to be lulled into a false sense of security when she saw the couple embracing, and then the last sentence could be her bumping into another pursuer. That is only a suggestion, though.

That sounds like it would make a great sequel. Wink wink.
