During the wait, an employee handed her a cup of coffee.

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.

The salesperson quickly asked, "Could you share why it didn't appeal to you?"

"Hmm... just not quite satisfied."

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

That afternoon, Molly spent about two hours in the store. As foot traffic picked up, only four items were sold, despite more than ten people trying them on.

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."

Coleen had called her daughter several times, but in the end, it was her husband who picked her up. "Our son said you took the car, so I finally got a chance to pick you up from work. It's been ages." Coleen smiled happily, "Then you should thank our daughter for giving you this chance."
