The Velvet Ring ✨
I padded across the bedroom rug and climbed onto the low wooden nightstand to inspect a plush dusty-rose velvet scrunchie resting beside a warm table lamp. I paused quietly on my tummy to observe its rippled folds, making sure it wouldn't roll away. When I nudged the velvety rim with my snout, the soft fabric squished gently and sprang right back. It looked just like a tiny cushioned doughnut ring. Delighted by my cozy new find, I waddled right into the middle, resting my round tummy into the hollow while the velvet hugged my cheeks. I let out a drowsy, bubbly peep—'Cutie!'—and nestled down for the night.
