A Midnight Crystal Lamp

My boots carried me away from the coffee table and straight onto the soft sofa armrest as night settled in! Tucked right beside a velvet throw pillow sat a small cut-glass tealight holder, holding a forgotten copper-wire fairy light string. Gripping my floral bouquet staff with both hands, I wedged the pointed crystal tip under the fine copper strand and gave it a gentle hoist. Click! The tiny rice bulb flared to life, scattering faceted golden rays across the plush fabric like a private nighttime stage light! I nestled into the velvet warmth, watching the gentle amber glow dance right over my boots.
