But my agent said that he still hasn't got any potential buyers for me right now. He kept on blaming the economy, I just sighed. My ads for my car was also pending, not many people were interested in buying my luxurious gas-consuming car. I tried to get it to the showroom, and sell it back to them, but they said that with my kind of car, only a handful of people would like to buy one that was used. They would prefer new ones. But they would call me if they have a buyer.

Just a little. His brows pull together, lips pressing into a small frown. Coby had practically dragged me to the garden, excited to show me his discovery, which turned out to be a poppy flower.
