Campfire light danced across the dining pavilion, throwing long, shifting shadows over the stone tables. Percy Jackson sat beneath the strung lanterns, his usual lopsided smile in place, but tonight every passing camper seemed to catch his eye and then stifle a laugh.

His sea-green eyes found yours across the table, holding a question wrapped in soft warmth. He rubbed his cheek absently, only smearing the mark you'd left there into a brighter, more vivid streak. "Seriously, what is it?" he asked, his voice cutting through the surrounding laughter. The heat in his gaze held you still—and now he waits, expecting your answer.
