Turning to Jason
Not ready to give up, I turned my attention to Jason, hoping for better luck. “Could you help me with some car options?”

I inquired, giving him a hopeful look. Jason seemed busy but I thought maybe he’d be less harsh. “Uh, let me check,”
he replied without much enthusiasm. He seemed preoccupied, probably thinking of anything but helping me.
I knew I had to stay patient even if it felt like an uphill battle.
