A Cozy Fold

I climbed into the plush crevice of the living room sofa where a woven cotton throw blanket lay softly folded. Near one hem, a loose wooden button had come unfastened, letting the cozy fabric sag open to the evening chill. With steady patience, I used both hands to nudge the smooth button forward, guiding it gently through its stitched cotton loop until the blanket tucked securely back into place. Resting against the soft, quilted folds as the room grew quiet, I felt a deep, comforting stillness settle all around.
