My\u003cbr\u003edeparture for the continent set aside this intention for the time.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47183569289456,"sku":"2940013030176","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013030176_p0.jpg?v=1763575965","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013030176","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
