Kimondo had completely forgotten about the flowers, too. She looked down at them and thought about all the trouble she and her friends had gone to to get them planted here and there and everywhere. It was a lovely reminder of what had happened in the pride now, even if nobody else thought it had been worth the time then or even now. Nobody but her and Hodari, at least.
"Thank you for chatting with me tonight, Hodari," she said, "And for being the best sister anybody could ask for."
It was a pleasant distraction but it was just another reminder that she could still be herself, and she needed that more than anything else. She hoped they had closed the distance between them for good.
Fin!
