I WENT TO SEE THE ROMANS OFF THE NEXT MORNING.
It was sad to know that they were leaving. Things were ending. The war was over. Everybody was moving on, but I couldn't. The war wasn't over to me.
When I hugged Hazel goodbye, I didn't want to let go. Since the end of December last year, I had seen Hazel multiple times a month. The past two months, we spent every day together on the Argo II. I feared if I let her go, I'd never see her again.
Hazel ultimately pulled away. She held on to my arms firmly. "You're going to visit us. We'll visit you too. You'll tell me if anything is wrong. I'm always here to talk to if—"
"I love you," I blurted.
Hazel's eyes softened. She abruptly pulled me back into a hug, squeezing my ribs. I didn't say anything because I was just so grateful she was still here.
"I love you so much," Hazel breathed. "I'm going to miss you. You're the best sort-of-sister I could ever ask for."
"I don't think she can breathe, Hazel," Frank cut in. "Her face is turning red."
Hazel let go of me. "Sorry."
I smiled. The intent was for it to look happy, but I'm pretty sure it was more wistful.
Hazel grabbed my wrist and pulled me a few feet away from the rest of the Romans and Greeks.
Her gaze was intense and she lowered her voice."You weren't being serious about giving Hades a piece of your mind, right?" she asked, but it sounded more like a beg.
Everybody had speculated what happened to Leo. For the past two days, Leo's death had hovered over the camp like a cloud. It didn't hover over me, instead it suffocated me like I was being buried alive.
"Leo's death was different," I stated. The words felt alien in my mouth. "I'm gonna find out why."
Hazel gave me a look like she knew something terrible that I didn't. She looked like she felt bad for me. "Oh, Millie... be careful. Please."
