A Gentle First Greeting

The quiet glow from the screen behind us lit the folds of the soft purple sheet. Everything felt peaceful. Slowly, I realized I could feel the gentle breeze in the room. I paused, taking in the calm morning air. Then, I tested my paw. It shifted quietly forward. I reached out and softly touched the curly brown puppy sitting beside me, straightening its little patterned tie. It stayed right there beside me, warm and still. I tucked my paws back into place, sitting comfortably.
