To be fair, she really gave him no indication whatsoever that she wanted it. You gotta wonder what her trauma is, for her to just expect him to basically force himself at her.
Maybe, she's manipulated schedules and whatnot so that they would work together. She's been sending hints, he just doesn't pick up on it. Not that her hints are great, as is often the case between men and women. We're not always good at picking up, when the other's making it obvious (in their own mind) to the other person.
It’s never someone’s fault when they don’t pick up on the signals. I don’t even insulate that it was his fault. It’s 100% manipulative, but narcissistic is maybe a bit much.
If you read the original Treading Ground, you'll see. She's absolutely a narcissist. It's a pattern of behavior for her. You should read the original anyway. It's a little "of it's time" but it's great.
One of the things I wanted to do with this story is to give Tracy a little more dimension and character than she had in the original comic, and judging from these reactions I think I succeeded.
There had to be some reason they got together in the first place. But of course, this is a younger Tracy. The nightmares are yet to come!

Bro she's a classic manipulative narcissist, it's not any kind of HIS fault.
