I think, therefore I snack

The last slice of cheesecake sits in my fridge. It's waiting to be savoured. Even after a satisfying dinner, my mind can't help but wander back to it. I know I won't be at peace until it's gone, and then my thoughts will shift to what delicious meal I'll conjure up next. As I contemplate that final bite, the anticipation builds — it's not just cheesecake; it's a moment of bliss that I can almost taste.
