Mood Swings

Maria was furious at Rudy after she read the report. Her shock had quickly transformed into a storm of emotions, and anger was at the forefront. The revelations contained within the report had caught her completely off guard, and she felt a mixture of betrayal and hurt. As she looked at Rudy, still lost in conversation with Kaguya, her mind raced with questions and emotions that she struggled to process.

The conflicting feelings swirling inside her were overwhelming, and she grappled with the decision of whether to confront Rudy immediately or allow him the chance to explain himself.

Rudy and Kaguya finally decided to head back to the car, not wanting to keep Maria waiting for too long. Rudy opened the backseat door for Kaguya, a warm smile on his face that made her cheeks flush. The gesture was simple, yet it held a certain charm that Kaguya found hard to resist. She thanked him softly, feeling a mix of gratitude and awkwardness.
