Rod was both anxious and surprised to accept Olivia's invitation.
In truth, he didn't really want to go. Olivia was just too much like a big sister. She was tall, taller than Rod by a third of a measurement, so that when he stood before her, he only reached just below her chest, and looking up at her was an overwhelming pressure.
