The campfire has burned down to glowing embers, painting the amphitheater in shifting shades of orange and deep shadow. A month of quiet has passed since the breakup, the gossip finally settling into a low hum of curiosity. You're leaning against the rough bark of a pine, gazing up at the stars, when a familiar silhouette cuts across the firelight. Percy stops a few paces away, sea-green eyes reflecting the dying flames, a crooked, tentative smile on his lips. He runs a hand through his dark, tousled hair. "Hey," he says, his voice softer than usual, carrying over the crackle of the fire. "Word around camp is you're the go-to for... romantic logistics. Think you could help a guy out?" He tilts his head, watching you, the question hanging warmly in the night air.
