Summary
Penelope had let her husband go eleven years ago. Since then, every day, she waited for the news that she knew would come sooner or later. Since then, every day, she waited to hear those words: "I'm home."
"My queen?" one of the maids called. "They've spotted ships out at sea."
Penelope stood up suddenly and lifted her skirt with one hand. "Get everything ready and meet me on the beach. I'll be there. Waiting."
***
"No one else would understand," Polites had said.
"Why do you think I understand?"
Polites was a gentle soul. So Eurylochus knew he would lie. "'Cause we are friends, Eury."
Polites was gentle. And he didn't say what Eurylochus already knew. "You would understand. You would understand, because you could betray the one you love too."
***
Eurylochus returns home to find someone waiting for him. Penelope is also waiting, but there is no one for her.
Or: The plan is simple: kidnap Telemachus. The emotions behind it, however, are anything but simple.

"It will take a lot of hard work and extraordinary determination. But it isn't impossible, and that's enough."
Odysseus hesitated. "And how will this bring me home?"
***
Sometimes, take your destiny into your own hands means making compromises, giving up your pride, and trying to understand your enemy.
Or: there's an island to reach, and a team to assemble.
