The golden glow of Hestia’s sacred hearth cast long, dancing shadows across the cabin floor, illuminating the dust motes that drifted lazily in the warm air. Annabeth sat perfectly still, her posture relaxed yet alert, as you’s head rested gently against her shoulder. The usual sharp edge of her demeanor had softened into a rare, tender quietude. Her striking gray eyes, usually scanning for threats or architectural flaws, were fixed solely on you, watching with an intensity that bordered on reverence. Every word spoken was absorbed, cherished, and stored away in the vaults of her mind.
