you were in love with leo valdez. it was that simple.

he never approached you, though. he probably didn’t even know what your name was, anyway.

being a somewhat popular child of Aphrodite meant almost every girl and boy either envied you or wanted you. leo didn’t.

that’s what you didn’t understand. other boys and girls stared at you, while you stared at him.

it was just your luck you got thrown onto the argo ii a few weeks ago. you don’t know how, but you got surprisingly close with him.

so here he is now, yapping about something you can’t understand while you both are on patrol until the morning.
