For the hopeless, and hopeful, romantics who don’t know they’re noticed in a crowded room.
“Whenever he felt like giving up, plopping himself down, and dying (which was, like, every ten minutes), he reached over and took her hand, just to remember there was warmth in the world.”

“So this is where the rivalry started," Percy said.
"Yeah."
Percy pulled Annabeth close and kissed her...long enough for it to get really awkward for Piper, though she said nothing. She thought about the old rule of Aphrodite's cabin: that to be recognized as a daughter of the love goddess, you had to break someone's heart. Piper had long ago decided to change that rule. Percy and Annabeth were a perfect example of why. You should have to make someone's heart whole. That was a much better test.

Annabeth made a little sigh, like something in her rib cage had melted.
Percy glanced at Piper. "Sorry, I had to do that.”
