Leona immediately strained, every muscle in her body tensing as she poured all her effort into the impossible task.
Unfortunately...the boulder didn't budge.
But before she could 'I told you so', Luca shouted encouragement.
"Come on, Leona! You're not putting in your full potential! Lift with all your heart! Lift as if both of your daughters are right underneath this boulder right now and you need to save them!"
The words hit her like lightning. Leona's eyes flashed with sudden spirit. She gritted her teeth, determination blazing across her face, and lifted—really lifted.
And to her utter shock, the boulder actually started to rise. Even if it was only a couple of inches—it was unbelievable to her.
"Luca! Luca!" She cried, voice cracking with excitement. "The boulder is actually getting lifted! We're actually lifting this massive thing off the ground!"
Luca grinned from the other side.
"Didn't I tell you, Leona? I told you to have confidence in yourself!"
