A Snug Bookmark Hideaway

I scrambled back inside through the door crack and dashed toward the tall wooden bookcase to settle in for the night! Wedged right between two thick hardcovers on the lowest shelf, a heavy, embossed leather bookmark was dangling its braided silk tassel. Naturally, I couldn't resist a leap! I hauled myself up the book spine and wriggled into the narrow crevice. When I tugged the soft silk cord with my paws, the bookmark tipped gently forward, creating a perfect tilted roof right over my ears. Sheltered between the sturdy paper pages and the rich smell of old ink, I tucked my paws in and listened to the cozy hush of the room!
