The party was in full swing, music thumping alongside the beat of a bad pop song, people laughing, and drinks flowing. When Annabeth suggested a game of Seven Minutes in Heaven, a strange request for the usually uptight, rule abiding girl to help "spice things up."

“Well, this is awkward,” Percy suddenly muttered, leaning against the dark oak door. He looked somewhat nervous in the middle of the silence.
“I’ve never noticed your eyes before,” he began, an unexpected comment. "They are… Stunning."

"I can't get enough of you."

The confession slipped out before he could even stop himself, those words were more honest than he had ever dared to be with her before.
