Knee-up. A plump young woman with rosy fair skin and chestnut hair in a loose messy bun sits curled in a wide window seat, thick thighs tucked beneath a chunky cream knit blanket, an open paperback held in both hands, one finger keeping her place against her cheek. She wears an oversized honey-colored sweater that slips off one soft shoulder, fuzzy socks, round wire glasses sliding down her nose, lips slightly parted in concentration. A sleeping orange cat is draped across her lap, one paw twitching. Rain streaks the windowpane beside her, a mug of tea steaming on the sill. Soft gray overcast daylight from the window wraps her face, gentle shadows in the blanket folds, warm highlights on the mug. The mood is hushed and content.
