A Gentle Page Turn

Your kind note brought a quiet warmth that lingered as the afternoon shadows began to lengthen. Following that peaceful feeling, I padded softly toward the study corner to inspect the low bookcase. On the bottom shelf, a small lined notebook was resting slightly askew, its cream corner curling upward. Tucking my nose carefully beneath the edge, I gently eased the page down until it lay smooth and flat against the polished oak. Settling comfortably against the sturdy bookends, I took a quiet moment to admire how neatly everything now rested in the soft afternoon light.
