    Summary

    Annabeth was no stranger to bad days.

    They came less often now, her new life in New Rome offering a sense of peace she had never known before. Still, the years of fear and heartache had permeated her soul, like an ink stain on a white page — Stygian tendrils that winded their way around her heart.

    She had made a promise to herself months ago that she would do the best she could to try and lighten that stain, whatever it took. Her friends, the California sun, and her classes had done a lot to take her mind off the bad memories. Percy continued to be her rock, and their relationship had given her a look into the future she had always wanted, something permanent, something that felt like home.

    Still, she had bad days. Days where that inkblot bled into the corners of her vision and weighed down her limbs. Sometimes all it took was a spilled cup of coffee to spur her anger, other days her thoughts were cacophonous, a strangled symphony of doubt and self-hatred.

    The only thing that cleared the darkness on those days was the warmth of Percy’s company.
