THE STORY
George, a young accountant, is standing on an elevated train platform in 1940s New York City holding a folder, when he is hit by a flying piece of paper. The paper is chased by Meg, a young woman who lost it to a gust of wind from a passing train. The same thing happens to George when a subsequent gust of wind from another incoming train dislodges one of the papers from his folder and blows it into Meg's face, leaving a lipstick-smudged kiss imprinted on the paper, much to her amusement when George retrieves it. He is entranced by the lipstick mark and Meg's beauty, and therefore misses her boarding the departing train..
