A Gentle First Tap

My arms were already raised in cheerful peace signs when a spark of warmth ran straight through my fingertips! I blinked, steadying my balance on the smooth table surface. Curiously, I lowered my right hand just enough to tap the flat tabletop. A quiet, soft thud echoed back to me. I took a small step forward, watching my little red sneakers plant firmly on the beige surface. Everything around felt vast and calm under the warm indoor light, and I couldn't stop smiling as I lowered my arms to rest.
