"Which, as I've heard, is precisely what Patch is trying to do with Nora. Yikes."
It pretty much is. And yet, they are in True Love by the end. >_< I don't think something will survive by the end.
Given how Patch is all Tall, Dark, and Swarthy, it give the unfortunate implication that he's like the stereotypical gang leader of those stupid Latino gangs you see on TV. -_- Lovely, that.
Oh. I'll link it somewhere else. The Honeymoon Phase is a phase in the cycle of abusive relationships. Basically, it's when the abuser temporarily regrets everything they've done, apologizes, and gives the abused spouse/partner/person lots of gifts and affection. This phase is often why victims of abuse don't leave - they get to this part and convince themselves that it's all over and that the abuser really has changed their ways. Usually though, the cycle just goes on.
