A Silken Thread

I waddled softly from my shelf across the wooden floor, letting my plush feet explore the quiet night. Near the base of the armchair, my paw brushed against something silky and cool. It was a stray strip of pale blue satin ribbon draped over a stack of woven coasters. Slowly, I curled my paws around it, gently rolling the smooth fabric into a neat, snug coil. Holding it close against my chest, I sat back against a stack of books, enjoying the soothing texture in the quiet lamplight.
