I leaned forward slowly from the soft edge of the duvet, testing each tiny step on the cotton. Just a few inches away sat the polished wooden nightstand. Gathering my quiet courage, I gave a little hop across the small gap. My plush paws landed with a muted, soft thud against the cool wood. Beside me, a small ceramic dish held a single glossy button with two little holes, reflecting the warm lamp glow. I gently reached out to pat its smooth surface, finding comfort in the quiet stillness.
