A Cozy Nook

I wandered toward the shadow beneath the low bookshelf and discovered an open woven basket resting against the baseboard. My ears drooped with quiet curiosity as I crept closer, peering over the rim. Inside lay a soft folded knit blanket, its looped wool catching the faint afternoon light. I reached out a small hand, gently patting the thick yarn to test its give before clambering over the edge. With a soft hum, I settled into the plush dip, curling my robe around my feet to watch the dust motes drift across the floorboards.
