A Gentle First Peep

Everything was quiet... until a soft warmth trickled into my paws. I blinked, realizing I could shift. Resting inside my cozy felt box, I carefully pressed both front paws against the front rim. The cardboard flap bent just a tiny bit, yielding under my weight. Behind me, the soft grey sofa felt steady and broad. I took a calm breath, settled my little paws back on the folded edge, and quietly watched the peaceful afternoon room unfold before me.
