Rudy walked Elena to her house while changing the topic to divert her attention from the horror thoughts. And before Elena knew it, they had already reached her house.
They had also bought food from the restaurant on the way as it was already too late to cook.
Rudy handed her the bag and said, "Here you go. Eat a lot and sleep tight."
"I thought you bought this for the girls…"
"I can buy another one at home."
Elena smiled at Rudy and nodded before muttering, "Thank you… for today."
"No, thank you. I really enjoyed it. I didn't realize how much I needed company until today."
"So…" Elena squirmed and asked, "Will we go on another date soon?"
"Maybe next week?"
Elena nodded once again.
In the end, Rudy couldn't help but feel attracted to Elena. He stared into her eyes and slowly moved his face closer.
"..."
Elena didn't move back and closed her eyes, seemingly giving Rudy the green light to proceed further.
