A Gentle Tap
The quiet air felt cool, and suddenly, my chest was filled with a soft warmth. I blinked at the wide, polished wood stretching out before me. Looking down, I saw the plush red cushion nestled in my paws. Carefully, I eased one paw free and pressed a small pad gently against the smooth wooden grain beneath me. It felt cool and firm. I hugged my little cushion close again, feeling completely at ease in this quiet morning light.
