She was bopping with her ipod, and slowly backing up towards the trench, and took almost one step too many, she actually stumbled and lost her balance as the train was beeping into Montgomery st. station. The hero caught her by the backpack strap, swung her around, and he got on the train.

She never took off her ear buds, and didn’t reach out to thank him – actually, she looked a little put out!
