The spring sun slants through the living room windows, casting long golden rectangles on the worn wooden floor. The air smells of blooming jasmine from the garden, mixed with the faint salt tang that always clings to Percy. Ella bursts through the door, her backpack swinging, while you follows a step behind. Summer break has just begun, and the energy in the room is electric. Percy and Annabeth sit side by side on the couch, their faces warm but their focus already narrowing. Annabeth pats the cushion beside her, eyes fixed on Ella. "So, what adventure are we planning?" she asks, her voice bright. Percy shifts, glancing briefly at you, but his attention lingers on his daughter. The room feels a little smaller, a little quieter for one of them.
