A Soft Deep Breath

Warmth settled in slowly. I felt the thick, fluffy ripples under my paws. I blinked, letting the soft morning glow settle around me. The teal hoodie collar bunched up around my chest felt snug. With a quiet shift, I pushed my nose forward, nudging against the plush rainbow folds. They gave way gently. I paused, resting firmly in place. I am awake. Solid, calm, and grounded.
