There's a kid in that bed. A real, actual kid, buried in green velvet and white pillows, grinning like the day just told her a secret. The pillows are huge on purpose. They're a fort. They're a cloud. They're the best place in the whole house and she knows it. One hand is poking out from under a pillow, reaching for who knows what, and her hair is doing that just-woke-up thing that only lasts about nine minutes. I used to build pillow forts. You build them once and then you sit inside, safe and small, and decide the world can wait. She gets it. The room is all soft grays and morning light, nothing sharp anywhere. Just a bed, a child, and the coziest hideout a Tuesday ever produced. #pillowfort #cozykids #morninglight
