Silver moonlight washed over the quiet cabins of Camp Half-Blood. Lanterns had burned down to embers, and the lake reflected a star-speckled sky. While the other demigods slept, Percy Jackson paced, restlessness a knot in his chest. Thoughts of you—a Hunter of Artemis—would not let him be. The oath you swore forbade any romance, yet he had felt something undeniable grow between you: your quiet strength, the way your conversations lately stretched into the night, the unspoken question in your eyes. The choice was a blade's edge: your sacred Hunt or him. Now he stood before the door of the cabin you were visiting, his heart hammering against his ribs. Inside, your siblings slept. He drew a breath and knocked softly, the sound a small, definitive crack in the silent tension.
