   Summary

   What if Penelope hadn't been saved by Debling? What if the balloon hit her square in the chest? This is an injury/recovery fic that turns into Polin HEA. Basically, a what-if for the rest of the season after canon divergence at the balloon scene.

   I just felt like the balloon scene could be a little more dramatic . . .
