We watched this female jaguar resting during midday heat (40+ degrees). Suddenly, a massive male jaguar jumped out of the bushes. The female's adrenaline kicked in and her pupils turned blue for a second, as you can see on the shots.

“I hate you.”  

They’re 15 and just had their first really disagreement.

That’s a lie and she knows. She can always spot a lie because that’s almost everything that comes out of her mouth. There’s a frustration in words as the blonde snarls at her but the look doesn’t reach her eyes. It never does. So she smiles and instead kisses on her girlfriend on the cheek.  

“I know.”

They’re 22 and Chloé’s going to be married to some big shot politician in the morning. She’s sitting on the edge of the bed, white top sheet wrapped around her body. Lila’s never seen a more beautiful sight as the moonlight creates an ethereal glow.

“I hate you.” This time it’s a whisper, broken and sad, and Lila feels her heart break in ways she didn’t know were possible. She smiles softly, comes up behind her, and wraps her arms around her waist as she places a kiss on her shoulder. 

“I know.”  

Three hours later and

“I love you.” 

Lila cries out as she fights off security because after she’s objected. Because she can lie to others and take Chloe’s lies but she she can’t lie to herself. Not about this. Not after how she’s created this small illusion of happiness with someone. Not after picturing in her head their lives together. She hopes that Chloe knows that this time the words out of her mouth true, that she means them with all her heart and soul. 

For a moment the world is still and Lila isn’t sure.

A bouquet is made airborne, a veil discarded, security guards back off at the fury that is the Bridezilla as she demands Lila be released or heads will roll. Lila’s heart swells as her lips are crushed against Chloé’s.

“I hate you.” Chloe laughs lightly as their foreheads collide and her hands her on her face.

Lila smiles, ignoring the outcry surrounding them.
