A Soft Settle

Warmth spread gently through my soft cushion. I felt the colorful mask resting right against my backrest, vibrant and steady. When I softly shifted my weight, my four little wooden legs creaked with quiet life. A stray craft leaf lay on the wooden floor just inches from my foot. With a slow, careful nudge of my front leg, I tapped the leaf closer, tucking it neatly against my corner. Everything felt peaceful, ready, and warmly welcoming.
