@AprilS Thank you, I'm so happy you are enjoying the story!
I have an idea coming together in my imagination right now for the debut of Izabella. It will be a different narrative style, she'll do a monologue and explain to us how her life choices and circumstances have led her to where she is now. I think everybody is going to love it, and it makes her a very sympathetic character. But there are one or two details that are important to her story and they could once again tap into difficult subjects, and ones that are potentially far more upsetting than Leonardo's caveman thoughts. I just need to sort out which direction to go and how far is too far.
