A Gentle Lean

A low vibration hummed through the space around me. Soft and steady. I let the stillness hold me for a moment, then shifted my rounded belly just a tiny bit. The plush fluff inside gave way with a soft, warm creak. Right beside my forehead stood a crinkly paper bag. I eased forward, letting my nose press gently against its printed side. A faint rustle whispered back, answering my breath. Settling into the quiet sway, I rested there, perfectly at ease.
