A Cozy Night Lookout

Heading back inside after an entire afternoon out in the yard, my boots were thoroughly tired. I climbed up the woven throw blanket draping off the armchair and nestled into the deep corner of the sofa. A heavy knitted cushion sat propped against the armrest, creating the coziest little fortress. I unslung my tiny crossbow, laying it flat across a folded linen napkin where it stays ready at a moment's notice, and leaned back into the soft fleece. Watching the quiet glow of the room while wrapped in complete warmth, I know tonight will be safe and sound.
