What we have here is the limited edition Audi 8 series," she said, her hand gracefully highlighting the car's midnight blue elegance.

19 Darwin took a moment to consider his response. On one hand, he was growing weary of this girl's baseless accusations and cruel assumptions.

She wracked her brain, going over their interaction line by line. "The saleswoman said she would deliver the car this evening..." she murmured. "But where? What was the address?!"
