    Summary

    “But don’t you want to marry me?” he asked, enough of a lilt in his voice that he could beg off as teasing need be.

    Penelope was too sharp to be fooled by his tone. “I believe it’s my father you’ll be needing to speak with about that.”

    Or: Penelope is used to being outshone by her cousin Helen, and even Clytemnestra. Odysseus is used to having things go his way, through luck or cunning. They never realized that meeting each other would undo all of that, and themselves.
