Annabeth just entered the Café and scanned the room for Calypso. She was skeptical when she got a message from Calypso; considering that at one point, they both were in love with Percy and chose her in the end. However, She figure it's time to mend old wounds. As see looks around, she found Calypso at booth near the windows, looking out in open.

Annabeth walks towards her both and spoke.

"Hey..."

Her voice interrupted Calypso's train of thought and gained her attention.

"Annabeth... I'm glad you came," Calypso said as Annabeth sat down.

The waitress walked toward them and gave the menus to them.

"Would you two like a drink?"

Calypso asked for tea while Annabeth just asked for water. The waitress left with their orders and to get their drinks.

"I'm gonna be honest," Annabeth started. "This invite came by surprise. To be honest, I figured you wanted nothing to do with me. Considering what happened between you and... Percy."

Calypso nodded. "Yeah, I know. That's why I invited you. Percy was one of the reason."

"One of the reason?" Annabeth asked.

"You see... Leo told me that Percy told him that his mother would like to invite me for dinner someday. Since I saved her son, she wanted to say thank you."

Annabeth smiled, Sally was always a sweetheart to her and Percy's friends. Calypso is no exception.

"Sally is always like that. You should go anyways, you'll love her."

"Leo agreed too but..."

"But?"

Calypso was quiet for a moment and then took a deep breath.

"I really need to apologize for what I done to you and Percy. I heard from Leo of how you both went to Tartarus and my curse ended up hurting you and-"

"Woah hey! It's okay," Annabeth replied. "really."

"NO IT'S NOT!"

Calypso yelled as she stood up and slammed her hands on the table. She accidentally gained the attention of most of the customers in the Café. She sat back down and cleared her throat.

"Sorry... It just... I never meant to curse you. I was just so angry; I mean, I was abandoned again. And once again, it's because of my damn curse."

She sigh.

"I just... I just wanted to experience it."

"Love?"

She nodded.

"I... I just lost it after he left and..."

She sighed.

"I'm really, really, REALLY sorry. I never meant to hurt you or Percy."

Right on time, the waitress brought their drinks to their table. As soon as she left, Annabeth spoke, "Can I tell you something?"

Calypso nodded.

Annabeth took a deep breath and told her story, "I... have issues. Ever since I was little, I always felt left out, forgotten, abandoned. I ran away from home and met Thalia, Grover and Luke. Those two became family to me. Then Thalia died and later, Luke betrayed us."
