Oh, very nice. I thought you found a nice balance with Keller, too.

She'd gotten Rodney to fall in love with her even though she was fifteen years younger and not nearly as smart. She could at least make Sheppard like her if she tried hard enough.

That certainty of hers that she could make someone like her feels very true to the character. It's just unfortunate that she hasn't yet come to accept that in reality, it's not always possible to make someone like you. I think that that's part of the reason she treats Rodney the way she does: in her world, if Rodney would just try a little harder, everyone would like him, too.

Thanks for the good read.
