Can I avoid the use of a loop when only one item to iterate?

Question

I have a Django auction project (CS50 course assignment) and I have the following function in views.py:

def show_item(request, items):
items = Listing.objects.filter(item = items)

for item in items:
    ends = item.date + timedelta(days=7)
return render(request, "auctions/show_item.html",{
     "items":items, "ends": ends
    })

This allows me to display the item and its end date. My question is, since there is only one iteration in the loop (I'm showing a single item for auction on the template view), isn't there a cleaner way of doing

ends = item.date + timedelta(days=7) ?

(i.e. just need to obtain the item date field in the model) Without the need of the for loop? I tried : ends = items.date + timedelta(days=7)

but get an error?
