Just a Cake

"It's just a cake," she said to herself as she stared at the cake on her countertop. She lightly tapped the fork on top of the faded recipe card, contemplating what the first taste would be like. Would it be as good as she remembered? Tears welled in her eyes as she thought about taking a bite. She wiped her tears, quickly put foil over the pan, and decided to save the cake for another time.
