Eli tiptoes to the window. Moonlight spills in, soft and silver.
He hears a *whoosh*. A leaf lands on his nose. Ticklish!
The leaf curls and spirals. Eli huffs—wow! It dances!
Eli climbs onto the mattress. Soft and deep. He sighs.
The leaf hums like a sleepy bee. Eli giggles quietly.
He reaches out—zip! The leaf zooms up to the ceiling.
It sticks to the ceiling. Glowing like a tiny star.
Eli closes his eyes. The leaf watches… like a friend.
