When Augustus saw his daughter's flushed cheeks and heard her whispered response, he felt something stirring in the pit of his stomach. Transfixed, he slowly fed his daughter a second spoonful, followed by a third, taking his time and enjoying his daughter's reaction as he fed her like a child. However, a certain part of him was not seeing Gabriela as a child as he remained intently focused on her, watching his daughter's tongue snake out to taste his offered treat, watching her lips close around the extended spoon, watching her swallow each new bite.
His heartbeat quickened as he continued, no longer paying much attention to what in particular he was feeding her, getting lost in her sparkling eyes, her flushed cheeks, and those pretty pink lips smiling up at him. Noticing a spot of whipped cream adorning Gabriela's cheek, he leaned in, giving his daughter a quick kiss and licking up the stray topping. The feeling of her soft skin lingered on his lips, as her distinctive scent, a subtle aroma he would always be able to recognize as that of his lovely daughter, filled his nostrils. A rogue thought rose unbidden to the forefront of his mind, that despite some of the finest cuisine in Isembard set out on the table between them, the most appetizing thing before him was his darling little girl. He reached out to run his hand through his daughter's hair, before gently cupping her cheek as he looked upon her with a mixture of parental fondness and... something else.
