Wow! So much emotion in so little time! I think you r MC is great! She's cutting straight to the point. I'm finding it fascinating how your situation is following the PM model! I need to read that book again. Or actually, finish really reading it the first time.

I don't know how your H is going to react to the crucible, but I think you are doing the right thing to put him there. And it sounds like the MC is right there with you. We are with you, Maria!
