A Shiny Morning Gift

Waking up beside my new companion, I nudged my copper penny out from the blanket fringe with a gentle tap. I slid it across the floorboards right between us. The polished coin caught the slanted morning sunshine, bouncing an amber glow onto both our rounded bellies. She stood steady, watching the warm coin glint against the wood grain. I nudged it an inch closer until it rested against her base. Clink. We now share our very first shiny treasure together.
