A Gentle Sway

I opened my eyes to the quiet interior of a car. Sitting upright on the smooth gray console between two seats, I felt a faint vibration humming beneath me. Deliberately, I tilted my head to the side. As I moved, the small bee dangling by my ear chimed softly against my cheek. I reached down with one soft hand and pressed against the firm leather surface below, steadying my balance. Everything around me was arranged in calm order, and I realized I could choose when to move.
