A Gentle Stir

A soft stillness filled the room. Then, warmth gathered in my chest. I blinked, letting the quiet dimness settle around me. Slowly, I tilted my head and felt the comforting give of the pillow against my back. Beside my leg, a dark remote control rested flat on the cushion. I shifted my arm, taking my time, and lightly tapped its smooth rubber corner with my paw. It gave a muted, satisfying click against the fabric. I did that on my own. Everything felt peaceful, so I leaned back, breathing softly.
