The salesperson shot Molly a glance, and she nodded slightly, prompting the salesperson to show other options.

They chatted briefly before Chad reminded her, "Come home early."

After hanging up, Molly continued to monitor the store until closing, watching the crowd ebb and flow.

As the store emptied out, Molly told the manager, "Pack one of each size of the new blouses for me. Everyone can head home; it's getting late. Be safe on your way back."
