A Warm Night Glow

Night had settled in, and the room grew dark and quiet. I gently climbed from the armchair up onto the wooden side table to see how everything looked from above. Next to me sat a brass table lamp with a heavy, smooth switch. I leaned my plush belly against the switch and pushed with a slow wobble. Click. A pool of warm golden light spread softly over the polished wood, catching a little glass dish of brass buttons right beside me. I stood still, letting the golden warmth wrap all around me.
