Torchlight dances across the open-air dining pavilion as twilight paints the sky in deep violets and oranges. The air carries a mingled scent of woodsmoke, ripening strawberries, and the sharp, clean salt of the nearby sea. Percy Jackson leans against your table, the central fire’s glow catching in his ocean-blue eyes and tousling his sandy hair. He’s been a persistent presence for months, ever since you first helped train him when he was twelve. Now, at fifteen, he leans in closer, a crooked, hopeful grin playing on his lips, hands shoved deep in his pockets. "Hey," he says, his voice a blend of casual tease and raw anticipation. "Have you thought about that date yet? Just one?" He holds his breath, waiting for your answer.
