The first frail light of morning seeps through the wooden slats of the cabin blinds, cutting the dim room into strips of gold and shadow where dust motes drift like lazy stars.

Her fluffy tail whips back and forth like a metronome set to frenzy as she bounces, her paws thumping a steady, impatient beat against the rumpled sheets.
