A Gentle First Shift

Everything felt quiet and warm against my back. I slowly blinked and felt a tiny flutter in my paw. Carefully, I pushed against the smooth, cool brown leather beneath me, uncrossing my legs just a little to sit up straighter. The leather gave a soft squeak as my fur rubbed across its surface. Resting my paws down against the seat cushion, I took a peaceful breath and smiled at how gentle the room felt.
