“Loving him was the easiest thing you ever did—and the hardest secret you ever kept. No matter how brightly your heart burned for him, it could never outshine the way he always looked at her.”

𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶ♱ ྀིྀ

You had a small crush on the Son of Hephaestus, Leo Valdez, for quite some time now — though calling it "small" was probably the biggest lie you told yourself. It started innocently, just laughter shared during late-night campfires, his jokes that never failed to make you smile, and the way he looked at the world like it was a puzzle waiting to be fixed. But as the days went on, that tiny flutter in your chest grew louder, harder to ignore. Still, you kept it all in. You buried those feelings deep, locking them away behind jokes and friendly smiles, because it was clear as day how his heart beat for someone else — a girl named Calypso.

The mysterious daughter of Atlas, a Titaness with beauty that seemed to pull Leo in like gravity. No one knew. Not Annabeth. Not Percy. Not even Leo himself, despite how close the two of you were. Only Piper McLean and her boyfriend, Jason Grace, had caught on. They were the only ones who knew that every time you laughed with Leo or watched him from afar, it wasn’t just as a best friend. It was as if someone wished, deep down, that she could be more. But wishes, especially in a world full of gods and monsters, didn’t always come true.
