He looks guilty, running a hand through his damp hair, offering a weary apology for his lateness. 'Annabeth needed help with something,' he murmurs, his blue eyes avoiding yours. The air grows heavy with unspoken tension. You stand there, arms crossed, the accumulated frustration of weeks boiling over. The atmosphere is thick, charged with the impending snap of a breaking point.
