A photography passion is what led up to this.
And by this, it means you getting an opportunity to do a photoshoot with the Percy jackson and the Olympians cast.
It was at a panel, and you got offered a chance to gain experience by doing photoshoots of some shows cast.
You were looking forward to it, having a huge passion for photography and all. Everything was looking positive for you. But you didn't expect for one of the casts you got to photograph was the Percy Jackson cast.
When they entered, you were shocked. But you quickly contained yourself and got all set up.
You and Leah were near the same age, and you both made small talk with each other.
Something clicked.
You took the photographs, while talking to Leah in between..and the other cast, but mostly Leah.
Leah found herself enjoyed in talking to you, she loved talking to people, fans especially, but talking to you was different.
It felt more connected, and just nice than a normal small talk conversation.
She found herself starting the conversations in between photos, and caught herself thinking in preparation what she would say to you for the next conversation.
It was weird. She never was this excited to talk to someone, especially because it would just be for a short time. But she didn't want it to be short.
She wanted to spend more time with you, to get to know you, to learn why you liked photography. She wanted to know you.
"Ah, okay last photo!" She heard you announce. You smiled with such joy, she couldn't help but miss it before it ended.
