"What did you say?" I asked Leo. Suddenly, Leo ran to the other end of the room, with an apple in his hands, then said, "Catch this if you want me." Leo tossed me the apple in what seemed to be slow motion. I thought back to the day Annabeth told me about apples and Ancient Greece. If  the man throws an apple at the girl he wants to be his wife, he proposes by throwing an apple at her, and if she catches the apple, she agrees to marry him. I caught it, then tackled Leo, and he said, "Look down at the apple, now." I looked, and there was a carat sea-blue diamond ring in my palm. I gasped. "It's beautiful! How did you get this?" I asked. "Hazel helped me by summoning the diamond, and then I made the ring into shape. Do you like it?" my beloved Leo asked me. "I love it!" I answered. "When will we have the our wedding? Where will we have our wedding? So many questions. We'll talk about those later. I think breakfast is ready," Leo said coolly. And then Leo left, and I got dressed, and we had such a good breakfast.
