    Summary

    This is the end of the fifth season. That’s it, we’ve finished the series. I can hardly believe it when the director shouts, “Cut!” That's a wrap. Everyone is hugging each other, emotional cheers echoing through the studio. Aryan pulls me into a tight hug, and then Charlie hugs me too. We’re still holding onto each other when Walker’s blue eyes find mine and lock in place. He’s hugging Aryan, but our shared look doesn’t break. I’ve looked into his eyes so many times. Over these past seven years, my character tried to decipher the intensity behind them, stepping closer, staring into the restless sea that overflowed from them. I never truly dove in, because that was the boundary between Annabeth and me, between fiction and reality. But now it feels different. Everything seems to go quiet, and I feel myself sinking. Walker’s blue eyes are pulling me in.
    Charlie says something, something about us finally being done filming,but I can’t focus. Then a loud pop cuts through the moment. Someone has opened a bottle of champagne, and that’s when I realize I’ve been hugging Charlie for a long time. We pull apart. Charlie heads toward Tamara. Aryan runs off to a glass. There’s nothing between Walker and me. Nothing..

    Summary

    Mike pats the space beside him, motioning for her to sit on the bed, and reaches for her hands as soon as she’s close enough. He wraps his hands around hers, enveloping them, and tries to keep the hysterics from crawling up his throat. El stares back patiently, and she still has that solemn look she’s taken to using, but Mike can always see the softness in her—soft eyes, soft face, soft hands, soft everything. That’s how it is when it’s just the two of them. Mike greedily covets it, always has, because that’s who he is, but he also wishes desperately that she could afford to be soft to rest of the world, too.

    “El,” Mike starts, and that’s all he can say before the knot closes in his throat. He closes his eyes, tries to tame the tears that want to come out, tries to take a deep breath, tries to swallow, and still, the only thing that comes out is her name. “El.”

     

    or, Mike overhears El and Kali talking about their plan.
