A Tiny Step Forward

Everything was very still... until my paws could press down. I blinked, staying inside my cozy shell, nervous about moving at all. Slowly, I reached one paw outward against the soft purple fabric underneath. It dipped down gently under my weight. I gave one quiet, hesitant murmur, watching the plush fibers sink and spring back. It felt warm and safe, so I settled right back down into my spot.
