However, that was not an option offered in the question, so I answered the question as asked but did want to suggest the better choice of "from" if an exchange in the questioner's work would be possible (e.g., if this question was in a class setting of "pick one or the other"). Thank you for emphasizing the preferable choice of "from." | |

| Apr 1, 2020 at 16:10 | comment | added | Katherine | Probably "in" since the meaning of "opposite direction" has not been made clear. It is assumed that the intended meaning is that "me" is approaching the observer from an opposite direction. As such, use "in". | |
