Once they completed their purchase, including two umbrellas to protect themselves from the rain that continued unabated, Benjamin and Sheila headed towards the store exit.
Benjamin carried the bags with the new acquisitions with a relaxed attitude, which contrasted with the still stormy weather outside.
"So, Treit," Benjamin began as they crossed the store's threshold, "what would you prefer to do first? Should we leave the things in the car or go straight to the store you want to visit?"
Sheila paused for a moment, considering her options.
"I think it would be better to store the things first. I don't want to carry all this while we're in the art store."
Benjamin nodded, showing understanding.
"Perfect. Let's go to the car then."
Once they reached the vehicle, Benjamin carefully placed the bags in the trunk, making sure everything was in order.
