i am almost asleep. wait. annabeth? no this isn't annabeth. she's not here. Percy thinks as he feels someone else's lips connect with his own.

when they stop, i'll act like i am waking up. Percy decides. when they get up, he acts as though he was asleep the entire time. when he "Woke Up" he looked around. he sees that the closest person to him is reyna. she notices him and says that the play is almost over.

he tells her he's heading home because he's tired, thinking: would reyna actually kiss me? i need to tell my Wise Girl.

the next month, percy has been doing his work as praetor normally and almost forgot about it. almost.

when the argo II arrives, percy tells annabeth about the play. and the nighttime kisser.
