The afternoon sun slants through the pine trees, casting long shadows across the dining pavilion. A warm breeze carries the scent of strawberries and fresh-cut grass. Luke Castellan strolls past the archery range, laughing at something Chris said, when his gaze snags on you near Cabin 12. A boy—some kid from Dionysus's cabin—has you pressed against the wall, his hand beside your head. Luke's smile freezes, then hardens. His jaw tightens. *He remembers that move. He taught you how to lean like that.* He turns to Chris, voice low: "Excuse me." His eyes never leave you as he strides closer.
