A Cozy Nook Under the Glow

My paws padded quietly across the smooth wooden floor toward the soft golden pool cast by the tall floor lamp. Beside it, two thick hardcover books were stacked flat like sturdy stepping stones. I paused, measuring the height with a slow breath. Then, leaning my plump middle against the spine of the bottom volume, I wiggled gently until I settled into the narrow space between the books and the warm base of the lamp. The metal base radiated a faint, steady warmth against my back. It felt solid, safe, and just the right size to nestle into for the night.
