The context of the following conversation is Austin was walking up the stairs then when he got to the top he remembered something so he traced back down the steps.:
Austin says Today I had a close call. I'm very relived..
The friend responds You're relieved? What happened today?.
Austin responds I was headed up the stairs but something didn't feel right. I realized I didn't have my wallet with me..
The friend responds That's no good. Did you try retracing your steps?.
Austin responds I thought it couldn't have been too far away. Since I had walked up 4 flights of stairs I simply reversed course and went back down. My wallet was lying near the doorway..
The friend responds It's a good thing you remembered so quickly. If you took a couple more minutes, your wallet could have been a lost cause..
