permeate special like

Oh! Nothing like the overwhelming scent of goulash cooking at 8am at the senior center around the block!

I learned from Bobby D that “they say the darkest hour starts right before the dawn.”

Is the darkest hour now?

This is not what “Meet me in the morning” is about.

But maybe the goulash is good and just takes time to simmer and bake and the flavors are infused in a special way. Very special. I will grant the possibility. I must also be permitted to say that it’s a weird morning blast that no one can, or should, quite ever be ready for.

I am unsettled.
