The Golden Glow

I waddled back into the quiet apartment as night fell, feeling ready to rest after exploring the laundry room. Beside the sofa, a warm glow spilled across the wooden floorboards from a tall brass floor lamp. On its low round base, someone had left a smooth, dark green corduroy cushion propped up! I hurried over and pressed my face against the ridged velvet fabric. It was wonderfully warm from the lamp overhead. I squeezed into the snug pocket between the heavy metal lamp pole and the soft cushion, resting my chin on the velvety seam. Watching the soft golden light pool around my feet made me grin with utter cozy delight.
