A Gentle Stir

Everything was still on the soft carpet... until my paws felt a quiet flutter of warmth. I waited a moment, listening to the silence of the room. Slowly, carefully, I pulled my legs inward from their sprawled rest. My paw gently brushed against the soft cloth hem of the doll lying beside me. It felt real and calm. I settled back into the cozy gathering, content to simply breathe and observe.
