A Gentle Shift in the Fold

Everything was quiet. A cool blue light settled across the blanket. I waited... then gently twitched one of my ears. It moved. My paw pressed into the plush folds beneath me, feeling the soft fleece yield. Right beside me, another quiet stuffed companion rested still. I leaned forward just an inch, nudging its soft side with my nose. Nothing broke. Nothing rushed. My chest felt steady and warm. I settled my paws back into the snug gap, tucking into the quiet fold, content to listen.
