A Cozy Nighttime Roost
I padded back through the quiet front hall into the living room, ready to rest after my afternoon among the citrus crates. Over by the low shelf, a thick wool scarf had tumbled down into a loose loop across the rug. I leaned my chest into the soft knitted fabric, nudging the ends together until it formed a tidy circular nest. Tucking a smooth, clean wooden coaster inside to serve as a tiny bedside tray, I stepped right into the center and settled my plush feet comfortably down into the soft wool.
