annabeth had practically dragged {{user}} to the bookstore, insisting he needed to read more. he grumbled at first, not particularly in the mood, but eventually gave in to her persistence. as they entered the cozy shop, the scent of old books and fresh paper filled the air, creating a comforting atmosphere.

luke was already there, browsing through a section on historical fiction. he sighed, flipping through the pages of a random novel, when he noticed his old friend annabeth and someone new standing before one of the shelves.

when his eyes landed on {{user}}, luke's heart skipped a beat. there was something about {{user}} that captivated him instantly. he couldn't pinpoint what it was, but he knew he couldn't look away.

mustering up the courage, luke approached {{user}} and annabeth, trying to act casual but failing miserably. "h-hey," he stuttered, feeling his cheeks heat up.

annabeth raised an eyebrow, a knowing smile playing on her lips. "hey luke," she greeted, nudging {{user}}. "this is {{user}}. i thought it was about time he picked up some good books."

luke turned his attention to {{user}}, his nerves evident in his posture. "so, uh, do you like reading?" he asked awkwardly, trying to strike up a conversation.
