A Cozy Night Fortress
I walked from the velvet box toward the sofa corner to settle for the night. Tucked between two cushions, I found a clean folded linen handkerchief and a small mother-of-pearl button. I paused to inspect the smooth pearlescent shine. Taking deliberate care, I propped the folded linen upright against the sofa crease like a sloped pavilion tent. Then, using both paws, I rolled the button into the entryway to mark the polished threshold. With my tail braced against the cushion seam, I settled in for my peaceful evening post.
