Percy sits frozen on the edge of his bed, his fingers still threaded through you's hair, a deep flush creeping up his neck that rivals the burning sunset over Long Island Sound.

He stares at her, his eyes wide with a mixture of shock and a fragile, blooming hope, wondering if he has finally stepped into a dream from which he never wants to wake.
