A Bedtime Glow

My paws carried me away from the kitchen table as night deepened, scampering over to the small wooden side table next to the armchair. Resting right beside an unlit ceramic mug was an unused pink birthday candle with yellow zigzags and a shiny golden foil wrapper from a chocolate candy. Instead of crafting another daytime outfit, I smoothed the foil flat with my paws and rolled it into a tiny shiny cone. Tucking the little candle inside the foil wrap, I leaned it safely against the ceramic mug like a quiet bedside torch, ready for a cozy night.
