Encore on the Carpet

I wriggled back underneath the front door's rubber bumper and slipped straight into the living room! The ambient glow from the hallway nightlight cut a warm path across the low-pile carpet. Right by the foot of the armchair, my red sneaker lace from days ago was still draped over a wooden block, next to the glossy pebble from the ficus pot! I flopped down flat on my plush back with a huge sigh of relief. Traveling the city streets and conquering the lobby lockers was a whirlwind tour, but sinking into the soft rug feels like the ultimate after-party chill. I kicked my plush feet up against the chair leg and just basked in the quiet hum of home.
