Everything was just right.
His toys were tucked in their chest, and his bunny night light glowed softly on the bedside table.
His blanket covered him so tightly that only his tiny head peeked out.
Milo’s eyes sparkled in the warm light.
Even though tonight’s routine was the same as always, Milo sensed that something in his room was out of place.
Milo didn’t like change very much.
It made him feel uneasy.
Milo slowly looked around his room.
Then he noticed it.
He realised what was different.
The curtains.
They were open.
At night, the curtains were always closed because Milo was afraid of the dark.
However, tonight, they were open. Mummy had forgotten.
Milo had never seen the night sky from his bedroom before.
It was beautiful.
Stars sparkled and twinkled outside his window, spreading tiny golden flecks of stardust across the dark sky and around the moon.
The moon was big and round, soft and golden. It comforted Milo just like his blanket did.
A wave of calmness washed over Milo.
He liked this change.
“Mummy”, Milo started to say, “you didn't remember to close the curtains.”
“I can see outside. I can see lots of gold and black. I like it.”
Milo let out a happy sigh and closed his eyes.
That night, Milo drifted peacefully to sleep under the magical glow of a new night.
