A Cozy Tuck-In

I slipped back inside from the garden as dusk deepened, heading straight for our quiet corner by the sofa. The fuzzy brown bear was resting peacefully against the cushions with one heavy paw outstretched. Right beneath his paw lay an overturned woven coaster made of thick cord. I stepped closer on steady hooves and nudged the edge upward with my snout. It flipped over, revealing a cozy little pocket between the braided rope and his plush fur. I carefully walked my front hooves inside, wiggling down until the cord nested over my back. Resting my chin on his soft ankle, I listened to the quiet house settle into sleep.
