YOU WILL NEVER BE MY GOD, FELIX.
She whispered, her voice thin and uncertain.
I shook my head, wanting to say no, wanting to lie and shield her, but the sound that emerged was just another broken sob. I watched, horrified, as a tear welled in Felita’s own eye, then another, spilling down her soft, round cheek.
She wasn't crying out of physical hurt or frustration over a fallen tower of blocks. She was crying with me. Her small hands reached out, mimicking my own gesture of distress, her tiny fingers trying to wipe away the tears that now streamed from her own eyes. Her soft wails, rising in tandem with my own ragged breaths, were a perfect, heart-wrenching echo.
