accepted it with a smile, "Thanks a bunch."

She then glanced over at the young woman trying on the outfit, feeling it just wasn't right.

"Let's pass on this one." After the woman changed back, it was clear she wasn't interested either.

"Hmm... just not quite satisfied."

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

After work, Chad called Molly, "Need a lift home?"

Molly replied, "I'm still out. You go pick up Mom. I took the car, and she doesn't have a ride."

"Mom's got a lift."

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."
