Lioness Relents
In an amazing twist, the lioness seemed to accept Jake’s presence. Her growl softened, the animosity bleeding away inch by inch. “
Look, she’s letting him in!” I whispered, hardly daring to believe my eyes. Our eyes were glued on Jake, willing him to succeed.
The lioness cautiously stepped back, giving him a little space. There was something surreal about the moment; it almost felt like a silent agreement had been reached.
Maybe he really could help her.
