Snowflakes spiral through the electric glow of the city, catching in Leo's dark curls as he stares, utterly spellbound. The cold nips at his cheeks, but the heat of your hand in his is a steady, burning counterpoint. He scans the festive crowd—laughter, music, the scent of pine and sugar—then his eyes find yours again, wide with a disbelieving wonder. It all feels too perfect, a dream he's terrified will dissolve. Nearby, Percy and Annabeth watch, sharing a quiet smile at the way Leo's gaze lingers on you, soft and awestruck, as if you're the only fixed point in this swirling winter fantasy.
