Donna's Banana Muffin

Donna orders this banana muffin from a vendor outside the polling place. Freshly baked, its dense, moist interior flecked with banana chunks sits beneath a golden dome, wrapped simply for street-side handover. She receives it amid election-night chatter; Sam offers to fetch one too, turning it into a casual shared snack prop as they talk rain and returns.
