I really enjoyed this--the buildup of emotions and a relationship within a setting that is so vivid in detail and metaphor. And the badinage . . . I also appreciated the way Rodney veers from hesitancy to full-on sexual heat: I think the phrase "Well, hello" or "Hello, there" is what clinched the intensity of that arousal for me. And then its impact on John! Combined with all the sweetness here--a winner.

Thank you so much! I'm glad the buildup made sense, and I'm glad you liked the badinage: that, to me, is a lot of what their relationship is about.:)

That's cool you mentioned Rodney's, "Well, hello" -- I think they'd been trying to suppress all that, being with the kids and all, but standing up next to John like that, Rodney couldn't help it.*g* I'm very glad the sexual heat came through: I think by then, they were pretty starved for it.

Thanks very much for your kind comment.
