A Gentle Wave

Hello there! Everything felt still and quiet on the metal shelf until a gentle warmth wrapped around my side, lifting me up into the bright morning light. I blinked and realized I could move. Slowly, with all the warmth in my heart, I lifted my small plush paw toward the red shelf tag just in front of me and gave it a soft tap. It tilted, swinging gently back and forth. I settled happily in the warm grip, ready to wait and smile at whoever might come by next.
