Annabeth Realized

“Annabeth realized that if six of them 

went on these two quests, 

it would leave Percy alone 

on the ship with Coach Hedge, 

which was maybe not a situation 

a caring girlfriend should put him in. 

Nor was she eager to let Percy 

out of her sight again—

not after they’d been apart 

for so many months.”

~ Rick Riordan, The Mark of Athena
