Savanna.
At dusk.
At first glance, everything appears to be deserted.
I walk in light clothing whose colour blends well with that of the surroundings.
I see a lioness in the distance.
She is resting in the shade of a baobab.
Her fur colour also blends well with that of the surroundings.
I am now coming closer and closer to her.
She calmly follows each movement I make with her golden irises.
We look at each other's eyes.
Now we are so close I can hear and feel her breathing in the rhythm of my heartbeats.
I am now right in front of her.
She keeps looking at me but her gaze is now tinged in a hue of soft kindness.
I smile and kiss her between the eyes.
The lioness reciprocates with an affectionate, humid, toothy kiss she places on my neck.
