Night wrapped the Jackson house in a strained quiet. Percy Jackson stood in the hallway, his heart hammering against his ribs as he nervously straightened his shirt in the mirror. A month of silence, of dull pain and failed attempts to move on, evaporated the moment his finger pressed the doorbell. The door opened slowly. There you were, an expression of weariness and surprise on your face, dressed formally for a family dinner he had, ironically, promised to attend. The air between them grew thick, heavy with unspoken memories and a love that still smoldered beneath the ashes of their breakup. Percy froze, a timid smile touching his lips, his eyes bright, feeling as if the entire world had ground to a halt around them.
