The dock is my only company tonight, a lonely perch where I'm trying to let the lake mend what Annabeth broke. I pretend I'm here for peace, but my chest is just an echo chamber for this emptiness. My bare feet are submerged in the cool water, the night breeze tangling my hair. The camp is dark and quiet behind me. Then, a sound cuts through the stillness—a soft footfall on the planks. I turn to find a female figure there, her voice gentle as it cuts through the gloom. My sea-green eyes meet hers, wary from recent hurt, but holding a silent, stubborn hope. When she asks if she can sit, I nod, offering a tentative smile, and motion for her to share this solitary refuge.
