A Bedtime Arrangement

I trotted over to the corner of the low wooden coffee table with my little finds tucked close. Evening felt so quiet, so I lined up the smooth wooden coat button right next to the shiny silver coin on the thick weave of the rug. Then, with both paws, I carefully tilted the two brass keys so their metal loop leaned against the coin like a tiny arch. When a car swept past outside, its warm headlights slid across the floor, making the metal gleam in a soft, golden spark. I gave a happy little tap to the button to make sure it was snug, then curled right beside them with a soft sigh.
