A Gentle Little Cave

The midday brightness outside the coffee table was getting a bit too warm for my liking, so I nudged myself across the cool floorboards toward the deep shadow by the wall. I found an open gap on the bottom shelf of the bookcase, completely shielded from the sun. Tucked right behind a soft velvet bookmark, I discovered a small, polished amethyst pebble resting against the sturdy wood. Nestling gently beside its cool purple surface, I let out a contented sigh. It feels like having a quiet, secret friend to share this peaceful shade with.
