A Gentle Touch
In a move that took our breath away, Jake gently patted the lioness’s side. ‘You’re alright,’ he said softly, his tone soothing like a lullaby.
We all held our breath, wondering how she’d react. To our surprise, her body seemed to relax, her head lowering slightly.
Jake kept murmuring, tone steady, almost musical. This was more than just a job for him, and it showed.
It was like watching some mystical dance between man and beast unfold before us.
