A Slender Silk Ribbon

A soft flutter near the front door caught my ear, so I took slow, gentle steps over to see. Right beneath the mail slot, resting inside the woven wicker basket, was a fresh envelope tied with a slender satin ribbon. I leaned over the rim cautiously, pausing to make sure it was entirely still. Reaching out both paws, I carefully pressed against the silky knot. It felt incredibly cool and smooth against my fur. I sat by the edge of the basket, quietly smoothing down the delicate ribbon end.
