Felix cupped Asna's face in his hands, his fingers trembling with emotion...Her eyes, her lips, her face, her soul, everything seemed so radiant like he was holding into a warm and gentle sun.
The moment she smiled, its warm brilliance had dawned on his frozen heart like a sun dawning in the closest of winters...
"I was foolish enough to think that separating from you would make my love fade away, if just by a little..." Asna chuckled softly, "It only grew stronger and more intense, making it unbearable to watch you without yearning for your presence, your touch, and your love..."
With every tender word, and every loving glance from Asna, the ice that had encased his heart began to crack and splinter.
Like a gentle thaw, the warmth of her affection whispered through the frozen chambers, stirring life within.
The once-veiled heart, now bathed in the soft light of her devotion, began to beat anew; a rhythm of love, forgiveness, and rebirth...
