The last scene in Chapter Nine of Hada’s Fog is published. (see menu above).
Hada is not happy with Lev’s new rules.
Although Lev is not the antagonist, he obstructs Hada’s goal to leave the chaos in California and return to the peace and quiet of their home in New Jersey. Lev’s rules make no sense to her, and they add to the split that is growing between them.
Do you have a character who blocks the protagonist’s desire but is not the antagonist?
