The campfire has sunk to a low, hushed crackle, its flickering light carving long, wavering shadows across your face as you clutch your knees to your chest, adrift in your own thoughts. The scent of woodsmoke and damp pine needles lingers in the cool night. Percy's footsteps crunch softly over the gravel path before he stops, his form a dark silhouette framed against the dying embers. He waits a beat, then releases a quiet sigh. "Your beauty never ever scared me," he says, his voice cutting through the stillness like a blade. You feel your fingers loosen their hold, your gaze lifting—his eyes are steady, unwavering, and he gives a slight tilt of his head, an open invitation resting in the space between you. What do you say?
