Milly caught what Stephanie was staring at and immediately looked like she saw a ghost.

“Freeze, don’t freak it out or anything, just pretend you never saw it. Critters like this tend to leave people alone unless they feel threatened, Milly whispered.

When she started to relax, though, she picked up on a rustling noise again. The snake returned, this time weirdly balancing a wildflower on its tail.

Milly couldn’t stop a smirk from forming because of the snake’s surprising act.

It came closer, gently set the wildflower down at her feet, and then looked up at her, almost like it was waiting for something or asking a silent question.
