So this was what they meant when people talked about the overwhelming, awe inspiring power of love. Dimly, Felix could remember what he'd felt on his wedding day, what he'd once imagined was love and now suspected to be some bastard mix of lust and common sense. Luci was a good woman, a perfect match for him, but it was stunning how easy it was to equate his love for her to a candle's flame, quick burning but fickle, when now he was holding the sun in the crook of his elbow. Millenia would pass before this feeling would subside. Both of their lives would be over in the blink of an immortal eye, but somehow Felix knew that his love for this spirit, this daughter that he'd been blessed enough to help bring into existence, would carry on so much longer than his time on Earth.
His wife was asleep; well-deserved slumber that followed a trial of such suffering Felix didn't think himself capable of enduring it. It meant he didn't dare speak his thoughts aloud for fear of waking either of the most important women in his life, but think them he did. I love you most, above all things, and for all time.
