A Cozy Glow

I nudged a small battery-operated fairy light strand off the coffee table cushion with my chin. Tucking the wire close to my wool wrap, I used my small forehead bump to click the tiny black switch. Soft amber light instantly lit up the textured knit around my chest. Next to me, a glass jar filled with dried orange slices caught the reflection, throwing warm golden circles across the woven fabric. I settled deep into the corner fold of the sofa, watching the little city lights twinkle far beyond the window while my own small bubble stayed quietly golden and warm.
