I was waiting for her. I knew that she would wash up on the coast of Florida. I knew that she would try to escape. I knew from the tides that she would be ashore in approximately an hour. I laid at the bottom of the ocean, my essence spread for miles so that I could tell exactly when she would be here. When I first picked up the smallest hint that there was a beautiful woman swimming through the thrashing sea, I quickly calmed the waters to the consistency of a lake. She swam easily through, and I was there to greet her with a warm towel when she washed ashore, coughing and sputtering.
She began to sob when she saw me. Really, truly sob. Fat caterpillars of tears crawled down her rosy cheeks. She buried her head on my chest.
"Its okay, Calypso. My beautiful Calypso. You are safe. It's okay. I'm back. You're back."
"I- I knew I would never see you again! I KNEW it!"
"There must be mistakes or nothing unexpected would ever happen," I smile, "I have never been so happy to have made a mistake."
She manages a smile
"Me either."
"You look older."
"I have changed my essence. I am now thirty."
I shifted, felt myself mature. "So am I."
"How are you, my god?"
"I am well. How have the years treated you, Calypso?"
"As though they never passed."
"You could say that again," I stroke her hair.
"Oh, Percy… how did you do it?"
"It was nothing. I had to see you again. I had to answer the what if."
"What what if?"
"THE what if. What if I had stayed on Ogygia. Now I will never have to and my conscience will be cleared. Oh, Calypso. I will never leave you. I don't have to think about the island. I will never, ever leave you."
"Oh, I believe that's up to arbitration," said a voice.
And the goddess Annabeth stepped out of the shadows.
