Rapid footsteps
She walked down the hallway. The floor was quiet, she thought, but suddenly she heard the faint sound of rapid footsteps, quickly approaching.
Questions:
1) Is it OK to combine "the faint sound" with "rapid footsteps" and "quickly approaching" or does it seem contradictory?
2) The footsteps she hears belong to a woman who's running from a man who's trying to assault her. Is "rapid" a fitting word to describe that?
