I stepped behind the sedan before he could see me.

He stopped near the driver’s door and checked his phone.

Then he looked toward the building.

For a second, I thought he might go back inside.

He did not call me.

I watched his vehicle turn onto the main road.

There were two reasonable choices available to me.
