Summary: Daniel lies in bed and ponders the big questions

I look at him through half-closed, sated eyes.

"When did you know?"

His deep brown gaze flicks to me and away again.

Maybe it's hard to define. Love isn't always a blinding white bolt of enlightenment; it's not always sudden and it's not always obvious.

Sometimes it's as slow and insidious as floodwater; it creeps and glides across the flat land yet changes it completely. Like Jack changed me.

"When I had to say goodbye," he murmurs, and his eyes hold mine. I know this is important...and hard for him to say.

"On my ascension?"

"On Abydos."

"Oh!"

"Yeah."
