A Warm Aroma

The scent of warm crust and baked cheese gently pulled me awake inside the quiet car. I paused, taking in the soft cabin light and the savory steam rising from the open carton before me. With a slight, gentle wobble, I realized I could lean forward on my own. I gave a tiny nudge against the edge of the cardboard box, settling comfortably right beside the freshly opened pizza, feeling delightfully at home in the rich aroma.
