Um... reading the first comment on this, I have to say, I would be with John on this. I confess, I would probably do a similar thing, faced with the same situation.
As yes, I am female.
But hey, it's fun to be different ^.~
As to the story, I loved poor Rodney in this, all confused and fumbly and the ending was... unexpected. I hope there's going to be more to this.
