A dancing sliver of light

I crept out from the cozy blanket nest, taking slow, soft steps across the wooden floor... Ahead of me, a bright little shape was trembling quietly against the rug. I paused, tilting my head, and watched it shimmer. It looked just like a fallen star from a windowsill. Very gently, I reached out with one front paw and tapped the bright spot. It didn't make a sound, but as my paw covered it, the golden glow hopped right onto the fluff of my toes... like a tiny warm secret, you know?
