I told him it was just right for two. The striped duvet was bunched up around his paws. He asked if the yellow pillow was mine. Yes, I said. He looked at the penguin on the headboard. Is that for sleeping. No, I said. He nudged a loose thread from the blue and white cover with his nose. It's too big, he said. The bed is too big. I told him it was just right for two. He thought about this. Then he stepped off the mattress onto the wood floor and walked toward the door.
