The bonfire's amber light flickers between the pine trees, throwing dancing shadows across the porch of the Poseidon cabin. You knock on the weathered wooden door, your pulse a quiet drumbeat in your ears. The door opens, and Percy Jackson is framed in the doorway, the firelight catching in his sea-green eyes. His easy grin stalls as he sees you—the way the flames highlight your hair, the shape of your smile in the half-light. A faint blush dusts his cheeks, and he swallows. "You look good," he blurts, then grimaces, rubbing the back of his neck. "I mean—seriously good. You ready?" He extends a hand, palm open, waiting for you to take it.
