The sun sank lower over the strawberry fields, stretching long shadows across Camp Half-Blood. Malcolm Pace, son of Athena, trailed a few steps behind his sister Annabeth and her new boyfriend Percy, a resigned third wheel. He adjusted his wire-frame glasses, already mapping his retreat, when a clear voice sliced through the evening air. He turned and froze. Percy’s sister stood there, as beautiful and unsettling as moonlit waves, her irritation obvious yet magnetic. She fell into stride beside him. Their eyes met. Malcolm’s careful composure faltered; a faint, warm blush crept up his pale neck as he cleared his throat.
