A Cozy Valley

My nose nudged into a warm, forgotten nook between two corduroy throw pillows on the couch. A soft knit scarf had slithered down between them earlier, leaving a sunken ridge that dipped just right. With slow, patient wriggles, I eased my long plush body down into the groove, feeling the textured ribbing hug both my sides. A smooth wooden button on the scarf pressed gently against my chin like a quiet little resting stone. Tucking my front paws in close, I watched the low lamp cast quiet amber bands across the floor, perfectly settled in for the night.
