Percy Jackson is perfectly content.
He has his 8th grade English class, a chaotic group of students who test his patience daily, a staff room full of loud coworkers who won't stop trying to set him up, and a life that is quiet in all the ways he prefers.
He is not looking for anything more.
Then Elizabeth Chase gets into a fight.
And Percy has to call her mother.
Annabeth Chase is everything Percy isn't - composed, precise, guarded. A successful architect. A single mother. A woman who doesn't have time for messy emotions or soft-hearted teachers who ask too many questions.
Percy thinks he's just helping a student.
Annabeth thinks she's just attending a parent-teacher meeting.
Elizabeth knows better.
Because sometimes the strongest foundations aren't built from blueprints.
They're built slowly - after school hours, in crowded teacher lounges, in quiet conversations that mean more than they should.
And sometimes, the people who swear they aren't looking for love are the ones who need it most.
