“The inside of the van was warm, and I could smell the heat of it, mingled with that sweetness I could not quite identify; a sweetness like a childhood I only ever knew from books, a scent of vanilla and spices and cream, of bedclothes dried in the sunshine. And beneath it, a more complex scent of autumn leaves and petrichor, of forests that never see daylight, of sunken ships and pirate gold and fireworks and woodsmoke.

'I can't quite place what it is,' I said. 'But it smells almost familiar. Is it some kind of spice?'

'Cacao,' I said. 'You mean---?'
'Chocolate.”
