The Last One to Turn Out the Lights
Every home has its bedtime routine.
The dishes are done. The doors are locked. Someone does one last check to make sure the lights are off and everything is ready for tomorrow.
And then there’s the cat.
The one who insisted on going outside an hour ago… only to wander back in at the exact moment everyone is ready for bed, tail held high like royalty, as if to say, “You may relax now.
The queen has returned.” 😸
It’s funny how these little nightly rituals become part of what makes a house feel like home.
Because sometimes, the day isn’t truly over until everyone is safely inside.
