A Gentle Breath

Morning light settled softly around me. My body felt a little squished and creased, but inside, a quiet warmth began to hum. I tested a gentle breath, feeling the plush softness of my chest puff outward. With a careful nudge, I shifted forward against the plaid blanket beneath me, watching a loose fold of fabric slowly smooth under my belly. It takes a little effort, but everything feels wonderfully calm.
