Story? What do you think?

"And back to you, Don, for today's forecast. It was dark except for the bright glow of the old 1990's television Nella had come to love ever since she had first laid eyes on it at the age of five. The television was just a blur as Nella's tired eyes changed from being slits to wide open. To her right, she could make out what was her tall cream wardrobe cabinet filled with all her favorite outfits. Warm memories flooded in as she remembered several outings with her friends and family. The red dress was worn to her aunt's, rich aunt Sophie's, extravagant wedding. Then there was her blue blouse, worn many a time out to dinner or the downtown theatre she and her best friend Jaycee so frequently went to. To her left, was her purple laptop set atop a mediocre wooden desk her dad had made for her a few years ago. He worked so hard on that desk and when he had asked Nella what she had thought of it when it was done, she had smiled and said it was great even when she really thought it looked awkward and incorrectly assembled. His giant bear hug that came afterward made up for the amateur handcrafted desk. Looking at it now, she decided that it wouldn't be her room without it, character was what it gave to her room and deep down she loved it, despite the looks her friends made at it when they came over.
