Gift

As the sun sank lower in the sky, painting the clouds with a fiery golden hue, Nora and Alex stepped out of the building. The cool evening breeze ruffled Nora's hair as they strolled towards the car, their conversation animated and relaxed.

"It's been such a wonderful afternoon," Nora said, her voice tinged with gratitude. "Thank you for bringing me here."

Alex smiled, his eyes warm and kind. "I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was my pleasure."

Suddenly, Alex paused, a look of realization crossing his face. "Oh, I almost forgot! I need to go back inside for a moment," he said, turning back towards the building. "Wait by the car, okay? I won't be long."

Nora nodded, her brow furrowed slightly in confusion. "Sure, I'll wait here," she said, watching as Alex hurried back inside.

She leaned against the car, the mystery of his errand swirling through her mind.
