The Rabbit Hole Ch. 17 (Patreon)

Hello Darlings, 

I know we are in the throes of all our Reyna posts to celebrate my anniversary with her. However, we are flirting with the conclusion of The Rabbit Hole. We go back to Nadia's point of view. Penny is becoming a bit unhinged as the stress and self-doubt cripple her, but now we need to ask serious questions about where Nadia stands. Does she want this marriage? Does she want Penny forever and ever? 

I've gotten a lot of criticism about Nadia and Penny. It's a one-sided relationship. People feel bad for Nadia or think she's stupid. People are afraid of Penny or think she's too cruel or insecure. Those concerns are addressed here. They are both people. That's what matters at the end of the day. They have flaws and aren't perfect, but they want each other. 

Reyna was always a perfect villain, often described as a force of nature. Penny isn't that. She's human, and she's hurt, and she's a mess. That doesn't disqualify her from love, nor does it give her free reign to do whatever she wants. There must be a balance. 

That's the complicated plane I'm trying to land in these next few chapters.
