Summary
Odysseus had loved to sail.
“Where are you?” She asked the waves, hoping that perhaps, wherever he was, he would hear.
There came no answer.
There never was.
And even then, Penelope had never really learned to stop talking to her ghosts.
(The four times she wrote him letters she did not send, the one time he read them all after his homecoming).

Summary
"Penelope did not know what it was, this shining image that visited her. A ghost, she was tempted to say. But that was impossible. The mirage gleamed too brightly to be a ghost, and Odysseus was not dead. Odysseus was too clever to be dead."
"She was a trick. She had to be. A damned Calypso trick. She was made of light, or starshine, or ocean foam. Not real. Impossible. His Penelope was on Ithaca. His Penelope was as old as he was. His Penelope was waiting."
--
Odysseus sees flashes of the Spartan princess he fell in love with while languishing on Calypso's island. Penelope sees fleeting glimpses of the mischievous king she married while alone in Ithaca.
