A Sealed Report

Rudy and Maria settled into the car, the excitement from earlier still buzzing in the air. As they got comfortable, Rudy discreetly placed the sealed report in a compartment without opening it, a small gesture that didn't escape Maria's notice. Curiosity danced in her eyes, but she respected Rudy's decision to keep it a secret for now.

Not wanting to pry, she turned her attention to the road as they drove towards the hospital's main gate. The city lights painted colorful streaks against the evening sky, casting a warm glow over their surroundings.

As they reached the main gate and parked the car, Maria couldn't help but steal a sideways glance at Rudy. "So, what's in that report you put away earlier?"

Rudy flashed her a mischievous grin. "Ah, you caught that, huh? Don't worry, I promise I'll tell you all about it later. It's just something that I thought could wait until after our dinner."
