– A two-meter-wide bed with a premium mattress worth nearly $2,000
– Shelves full of storybooks and comics
– Stuffed animals neatly arranged
– A soft yellow night light
Every night, I read her a story, kissed her forehead, and turned off the light.
Emily was never afraid to sleep alone.
Until… one morning.
“Mom, my bed felt really cramped last night…”
That morning, as I was preparing breakfast, Emily came out after brushing her teeth, wrapped her arms around my waist, and said sleepily:
“Mom… I didn’t sleep well last night.”
I turned around and smiled.
“Why not?”
Emily frowned, thought for a moment, then said:
“My bed felt… really cramped.”
I laughed.
