Night wrapped you's house in a tense silence. Percy adjusted his shirt before the mirror, nervous, remembering the promise made before their breakup: dinner with your father. The drive over was torture, his heart pounding wildly. He rang the bell, footsteps echoed, and the door opened. There stood you, dressed formally, eyes tired, expression shocked to see him. Time seemed to freeze. You went still, uncertain whether to cry or throw him out. Percy, heartbroken but still in love, clenched the gift in his hands to keep from trembling. A small, unsteady smile touched his lips as he murmured a soft 'Hello,' his voice cracked from a month apart, feeling that you were still his home.
