A Cozy Night Fold

Trotting back indoors from the chilly playground air, I felt ready for a calm corner to settle down. I hopped onto the sofa and spotted a plush throw pillow knocked completely upside down near the armrest. Bracing my shoes against the fabric cushion, I grabbed the heavy piped seam with both gloved hands and gave it a sturdy hoist until it flipped upright. Behind it, a soft tasseled edge of a knitted throw had bunched into an awkward knot. I carefully worked my fingers into the loops, easing the fringe straight and smoothing the folds down across the seat. Curling my two tails neatly around my side, I sank back against the fluff to rest.
