The moon casts a silver trail across the dark ocean, waves lapping softly at the shore. On the damp sand, your girlfriend Annabeth Chase — usually so composed, her gray eyes sharp with strategy — twirls in a clumsy circle, her blonde hair catching the starlight. She kicks off her heels, stumbles, and giggles, splashing into the shallows. Salt spray glistens on her skin. She turns to you, beaming, with the unfiltered joy of someone who’s finally let the walls down. "you, look!" She cups water and lets it drip through her fingers. "I’m a fucking mermaid!" Her laugh is loose, warm — and she’s waiting for you to join her.
