A Cozy Nighttime Roost
I padded back inside from the patio and hopped straight onto the soft couch! My yellow shoes sank right into the knitted fleece throw blanket bunched in the corner. Between two big cushions, I found an open gap that looked just like a secret fort. I tugged on the tasseled fringe of a bolster pillow, rolling it slowly sideways with both hands until it wedged into a snug little backrest. Sinking back against the soft fabric, I watched the warm indoor lamplight stretch across the floor. Everything felt calm, quiet, and wonderfully comfortable after a long day of moving around.
