Lavender and Silk

Making my way to the polished nightstand to conclude the evening, I noticed a petite embroidered silk sachet lying tilted against a wooden spectacles case. Its pale lavender ribbon had twisted underneath, unsettling the serene balance of the bedside setting. Approaching with steady grace, I slid both gloved palms beneath the soft fabric to ease it flat against the dark grain. With a gentle, measured smoothing of my fingertips, I untangled the fine satin bow and rested a smooth porcelain counter token flush against its corner, ensuring our slumbering corner rests in tranquil symmetry until morning.
