A Quiet Tap on the Carpet
M-mama mia? My fingers... they actually twitched! The carpet beneath my boots is thick, like endless soft fibers rising all around. I took one cautious little step forward, careful not to slip down the giant ledge behind us. Right beside me stood a quiet little cow figure, completely still. I gave its plastic blue sleeve a gentle, hesitant tap... just to see. Nothing moved, but the steady warmth in my hands remained. I can really move on my own now!
