Panel 1: Sara stands at the end of a line at a moving company called U•MOVE•IT. There are five people ahead of her.
Panel 2: Sara's phone buzzes as she waits behind an older woman.
Panel 3: She holds a flip phone up to her ear and says, "Frances. No, I'm still at the rental place."
Panel 4: Sara continues, "I don't know. Yes, it's going to take forever."
Panel 5: There are now three people ahead of her. "I have no idea when I have to return it..."
Panel 6: Now the older woman in front of her is at the front of the line. Sara's still talking to Frances: "Why don't you just meet me at the Brooklyn apartment?"
Panel 7: Now she's at the front of the line; the attendant's waiting on her to finish talking. "In like... three hours?"
Panel 8: Sara, finally off the phone, says to the attendant: "I have a reservation for a van."
Panel 9: He replies, "Oh, uh, we JUST ran out of vans. We still have trucks." Sara, looking very worried, says "...Trucks?" He answers, "Twenty-footers!"

Ah “reservation” meaning, “hold a van for me, unless you don’t really feel like doing that I guess.”

More of a hopeful suggestion than a reservation…
