A Soft Unfolding

A warm hum seemed to stir inside my chest, right beneath my bow. I lifted my right ear just a tiny bit, letting the afternoon silence settle around me. The colorful polka dots beneath my paws felt pleasantly smooth. Slowly, I reached out one paw to lightly press against a bright blue dot on the sheet. It gave a soft, quiet crinkle beneath my touch. I settled back into the cozy grey pillow behind me, content to listen to the room's gentle stillness.
