A Cozy Slipper Pocket

I padded back inside across the quiet floor... The room had grown all sleepy and dim. Right beside the nightstand, two big, fuzzy house slippers were resting side by side. They looked just like two woolly caves? I paused, patting the soft fleece cuff with both hands. It squished down so gently under my fingers. Slowly, I wiggled my feet inside one slipper, sliding down until the warm lining wrapped around my tummy. I rested my chin over the fluffy rim, humming a tiny, quiet breath into the evening.
