A Proper Coaster

I hopped down from the soft cushions and tiptoed across to the wooden side table to see what little touches might make the evening cozy. Right in the center, someone had left a round ceramic mug sitting slightly askew, with a stack of colorful pastel coasters scattered carelessly nearby. Oh, that simply wouldn't do! With both gloved hands, I gently nudged the prettiest mint-green coaster right into place, then carefully slid the mug so it rested squarely in the middle. Stepping back, I smoothed the front of my dress with a happy little sigh—now, everything looks wonderfully welcoming and perfectly tidy!
