Awesome. Should I confirm your order and book these tickets?

You know what? Actually I should check with Amanda, since we had talked about going closer to 6 PM. I'm not sure when she gets off work tonight.
assistant
Ok, that's no problem. I'll save this reservation so if you decide to book them with me later, we can do so easily. Sound good?
user
Yes, that would be great. Thank you.
assistant
No problem! Let me know what you think when you can.
