‘I dropped it,’ she thought, as she fumbled for her key. ‘Where on earth is it?’
Putting down the heavy shopping bags she checked every pocket, looked again in her purse and couldn’t find it anywhere.
‘Maybe I left it at the shops’, she said out loud to no one in particular, and picked up the shopping again to find somewhere safe to leave it. Having tucked it out of sight behind the garden wall she set out along the path once again, retracing her steps.
‘Ah ha’, there it was, lying on the grass verge by the post box.

I like the slightly subdued sense of panic when she can’t find her key and the practical aspect of retracing her steps.
