The moonlight bathed the camp in silver, casting long shadows across the porch where Percy sat, his gaze fixed longingly on the dark expanse of the lake. Beside him, you shivered, not from cold, but from the familiar, creeping dread of the water’s edge.

With a sudden, playful glint, he stood and gestured toward the shoreline. "Get your swimsuit on," he urged, masking his intent with a lazy grin. "I just want to lie in the sand with you." But as they approached the water’s edge, the air thick with anticipation, Percy began the gentle coaxing, his voice a steady anchor in the quiet night.
