Soft Breathing

A faint warmth stirred inside my chest... slow, gentle, like sunlit dust settling in the air. I opened my eyes to the quiet grey weave of the sofa. Curled all around me were resting companions, heavy with still sleep. I carefully nudged my paws forward, feeling the cushion yield beneath them, and tilted my head toward the soft flank beside me. Nuzzling into the plush fur, I let out a slow, hushed breath. Everything was peaceful... and here was very comfortable to stay.
