A Cozy Tuck

I climbed steadily onto the wide, quiet cushions of the couch. Near the corner, a knitted wool throw blanket was pooled into loose folds. I took my time patting a gentle hollow right into the soft weave. With a careful shuffle, I tucked my feet beneath a heavy knit crease, pulling one soft corner across my lap. A soft floor lamp glowed amber from across the room, casting long, peaceful shadows. Everything felt warm, still, and just right for the night.
