A Minty Night Hollow

I pushed that peppermint candy roll ahead of me with my snout, guiding it right down from the windowsill onto the soft armchair below! Outside, the rain tapped steadily against the dark glass, but inside was warm and dim. Tucked deep between the cushioned seat and the padded armrest, I found a deep, velvety fold. I wriggled inside backwards, stomping down the plush fabric with my stubby paws to build a soft pocket. Rolling the wrapped striped candy snugly against my belly, I leaned my head into the velvet corner, listening to the soft rain hum as my eyes closed!
