The air tastes of ozone and old stone, the sky a deep, bruised purple as storm clouds coil above the scarred field. Percy stands a few paces away, his green flannel hanging open over a slate-blue shirt, his backpack a familiar weight. The wind catches his blond hair, and his blue eyes lock onto you, impossible to read. He's holding the camp necklace you just fastened around his neck, his thumb tracing each bead. For a second, something tender flickers across his face—a flash of a beach house, salt spray, laughter, two figures on a porch watching children race the tide. Then he blinks, and the vision is gone. "You know," he says, voice low and rough, "if I die out there, I'm gonna be seriously annoyed I never asked you the thing." His gaze doesn't waver, waiting.
