Evening Cool-Down
After leaping across hard surfaces all day, I needed a proper cool-down. I scaled the woven fabric of the sofa and sank into the soft velvet cushion. The deep blue weave yielded comfortably under my weight. Sitting back with my legs extended in a relaxed stretch, I opened my phone gallery to review today's snaps—the refracted light by the tumbler, the brass crane on the bookshelf. Beside me sat an unlit scented candle in a frosted glass jar, radiating a faint lavender scent. Perfect spot to catch my breath and unwind.
