As they stepped into the café, the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, mingling with the scent of baked pastries. Emily inhaled deeply, but instead of feeling comforted, a wave of nausea suddenly hit her. She paused for a moment, thinking she must be overly hungry. Food will help, she reassured herself.
They found a cozy table near the window, the soft sunlight pouring in, casting a warm glow on their faces. Emily quickly ordered a sandwich and a slice of red velvet cake. When the food arrived, she wasted no time and devoured both, her hunger apparent. Almost immediately, she felt relief as the nausea subsided.
"You were really hungry!" Carla teased, a grin spreading across her face.
Emily laughed with her. "I guess I was."
