Past-Tenses-In-Contextreview - 12405

Sally Porter was walking home late one night after a dinner party. She heard footsteps behind her and became afraid that she was being followed by the escaped murderer. When she turned around, the footsteps stopped but started again when she continued walking. She began to run and the footsteps got closer. Suddenly, her friend Mark grabbed her shoulder and explained that he had been worried and decided to follow her home. Sally fainted from fear.
