Every single month. Every single week. Every single day. Every single hour. Every single minute. Eveyr single second, Calypso missed Leo. He promised, she thought. He promised he'll return. She would sit on the sand, staring to the horizon, missing, sometimes crying, sometimes just simply staring and imagining Leo, with his Leo-made boat, sailing towards her. She just wished he was back, wished she could wraph herself around his oil-coated hand, not caring about the dirt, just him around her, comforting to sleep. Then again, every guy said that. But he was different, different form the other guys, she thought again. Please come back Leo.

It was a day, somewhere between a month and another month. She never knew when and what day it was. Days are always the same there in Ogygia. She sat at her usual place, just under a palm tree. Calypso pulled her legs, her knees touching her chest and circle her arms around her knees. She rested her chin on her knees. Tears trickled down her face, wetting her knees and hands. She just let it all out. No one is out here anywa. No one is going to see her breakdown. "Leo, please," she said, sniffling.

Sometimes she slept there, her eyes tired from the crying. Waking up with the feeling of lost everyday. Sometimes she forgot to eat or drink, forgot that she too neede to eat. Please come back, she thought again. Those words, it seemed like a chant now. "Leo, come back, please," she said, now desperate, not hoping anymore, but desperate for him to return. "I'm right here," She knew that voice. That voice tinged with laughter. "Leo!" She stood up, and kissed him, not hugging. No more hugging, she thought. He kissed her back, his fingers stroking her hair. "You're back!" she said. "Didn't I swore on the river Styx that I would get back?" she laughed and cried at the same time. "But, how?" he wiped her tears. Cliché. "I sailed with my boat for months searching for you, duh," he said, a smile always in his face. She punched his arm. "Don't push your luck, Leo Valdez. I still hate you," she said. "Oh really? After that kiss and all? I don't think so," he said, sarcastically. "I love you too." Sarcastic dumbass, she rolled her eyes. "But seriously, how?" she said. "Put it this way, someone helped me," he winked and looked up. "Who?" she said. "Of course, Aphrodite," he said. "Let's get you out of this island." She looked at him, puzzled. "But, the barrier, it won't let me out," she pointed to the ocean. "Aphrodite took care of it," he winked, again. "But, but... I'm speechless right now," she kissed him again. "Thank you, Valdez."

Leo woke up at dawn, checking his ship for any damage. "Calypso, please hurry," he said. And they left for Camp Half-Blood, with Aphrodite's blessing. "You should thank Aphro," he said. "This all won't happen without her."

And they sailed, not towards Ogygia like how Calypso imagined, but towards the opposite direction.
