Explanation:

Luisa specifically grabs the eggshell-white envelope, hides it in her bag, and only gives the remaining mail to her mother. This shows she was waiting for that specific piece of mail and wants to keep it from her parents, which is why she is relieved it's still in the mailbox.

Answer:

She has been waiting for some mail that she doesn't want her parents to see.
