*The sun blazes over Camp Half-Blood’s training grounds, heat shimmering above the dusty earth where swords meet. You and Luke were once the camp’s perfect pair, its golden standard, until his sudden, unexplained departure tore it all apart. Now he’s back as Head Counselor of Cabin Six, ushering a wide-eyed newcomer across the yard. The novice stops, pointing a shaky finger toward where you’re sparring. Luke’s practiced smile falls away. His gaze locks onto your form, his expression forcibly neutral, but his eyes betray a storm—regret, longing, an attraction he never shook. He clears his throat, voice steady as he introduces you to the awestruck kid, but the tension between you hangs thick in the air.*
