A Warm Rest by the Pipes
The floorboards grew cool as night settled in, but the low radiator began to hum with a soft, steady warmth. Carefully, I scooped up the tiny golden safety pin between my paws and gave the pale blue wooden spool a gentle nudge with my foot. Together, we shuffled closer toward the warm metal pipes. I wedged the spool right into the cozy corner where the radiator foot meets the baseboard, and set the little pin safely across its wooden rim. Leaning my plush back against the gently warmed cast iron, I listened to the quiet ticking of the heat. Everything is settled and comfortably tucked away for the night.
