The Fluffy Promise

“Fluffy! Where are you?”
Remy searched.
Under the bed…
Behind the toy box…
Even in the dark closet.
He couldn’t sleep without Fluffy?
Remy hugged Tin-Tin.
He cuddled Rocket.
He snuggled Poppy.
But nothing oozed love like Fluffy.
Remy sank into his pillow.
He tossed and turned.
It was going to be a long, lonely night.
His eyes swelled shut.
Mom tiptoed in. “I forgot. Look who I found while spring cleaning.”
“Fluffy!” Remy leaped up and grabbed the old, tattered T-shirt.
He buried his nose and breathed in the familiar scent.
“I’ll never let go of you again!”
And with an extra nuzzle, he whispered, “I promise.”
