I have a little secret but my family is starting to suspect.
They know I like clean sheets:
Fresh folds
Crisp corners
Cool creases
But what they’re starting to suspect is that sometimes, (or more frequently than I’d like to admit), I might be indulging in a bit of a lie-in.
Luxuriating in linens
Stretching in my sheets
Penguin hugging my pillow
When I hear everyone bustle around, sometimes (or more on weekends), I like to stay in bed for a few minutes, maybe half an hour.
To gather myself
In solitude
Before the day begins
This is my little secret, but it is not well kept. I think my family is starting to suspect.
