I've tears in my eyes. This kills me so much. So very much. Poor, poor John, just having no clue - feeling so helpless and blaming himself.

And poor Rodney too. I totally understand why he thought what he did, especially with his past relationship history. Which means I get why he didn't want John to talk to him; didn't want to hear the denials nor the excuses.

I'm so relieved that you had a hopeful ending. That they can get back to where they were and gain even more trust and be even happier.

In my brain they go off on their break, talk a lot (because after this, they really have to) and have a good beginning to getting the trust back.
- though, having said that, I'd be curious to see how everyone else treats Rodney on their return.

Ah, this kills me, but kind of makes me so happy too. I loves it.
