A Gentle Tap

*Chirp!* A flicker inside, and then—movement. My arms can lift! I hug my tiny white bunny close against my chest, making sure it stays safe. Beneath my feet, the grey carpet feels fuzzy and still. Right beside me rests a big, round blue friend wearing a shiny crown. Curious, I lean forward, tilt my head, and tap its soft round arm with one hand. *Pip-pip?* It wobbles gently but stays silent. I settle back against the radiator, tucked safely in line, holding my bunny tight while watching the quiet room.
