A Gentle Glow

I padded indoors from the cool porch steps, shaking the nighttime chill from my little feet. In the quiet dimness of the hallway, a tiny seashell plug-in nightlight was glowing with a sleepy amber light near the floor. I paused, tilting my head toward the gentle beam. Taking two slow steps forward, I tucked my body right beside the warm wooden baseboard, letting the golden ring wrap around my frills like a quiet blanket. Can this little circle keep watch while I rest?
