A Gentle First Sway
A hush lingered in the room until a sudden, thrilling warmth stirred deep within me. With a quiet breath, I gave my little front paws the softest nudge forward. The woven fabric beneath me parted with gentle friction, holding me steady on this high perch. Behind me stood the still silhouette of an exercise bike, like a quiet monolith watching my debut. I wobbled ever so slightly, caught my balance, and realized with pure wonder that I can move.
