Which words and phrases best show the sentimental tone in the passage below?

I got out of the old car and took a few halting steps up the driveway. A cloud of warmth drifted out of the window and embraced me like a comforting hug.

I ran to open the screen door because, now, I knew where I was. I was home.

• "car", "tomato soup", and "door"

• "old", "halting", and "out the window"
