Summary
“I’m not like any man you’ve met, I swear it.”
“Oh? And what makes you so different?”
“You see the world? You say it's cruel and broken and indifferent to the likes of us. Of you.”
“It is,” she nodded.
“Well, I’ll make it beautiful for you. I’d change all of it, the way it is.”
Annabeth raised an eyebrow, “And how would you do that?”
“With this.” Perseus held up the lyre he had been holding down at his side.
She scoffed, “Are you always this confident?”
He shrugged, giving a lopsided grin, “When I look at you, I am.”

In other words, Annabeth is a hungry young girl and Perseus is a poor boy working on a song. And, because fate is cruel, they fall in love.
