Mornden

n.
the self-contained pajama universe shared by two people on a long weekend morning, withdrawing from the world and letting the hours slow to a crawl, coming as close as they’ll ever get to pausing the flow of time, even as they know it’ll eventually rush back in all the faster.

From morn, morning + den, a comfortable room that affords private time. Pronounced “mawrn-duhn.”
