Everyone has a Story

I was on the El today (the subway-then-elevated train in Philly that runs east/west) and saw a nicely dressed woman.  She had on a long skirt and pretty blouse, both of which were tasteful and well-pressed.  She had on conservative jewelry.  Her hair was styled and her nails (hands and feet) were recently manicured.  She carried a bag that I saw her looking in for something; it appeared to contain a wallet, book, and other items. 

Why did I notice this lady?  She didn't have on any shoes.  She was barefooted.  I thought, "Are her shoes in the bag?"  Hhmmm, didn't seem possible given its size.  I looked around.  No one else seemed to notice. 

What is her story?  Whatever it is, it is now a part of mine.
