What the air does out here
There is a porch deep in the Basin at Mile 107 with two chairs pulled close enough to share an armrest. The arrangement was learned down front at the dance hall at Mile 22, one couple's habit become another couple's history. Creamy sandalwood drifts out through a door they never fully close, warmed with sweet vanilla. The survey crew finally caught up with the honeymoon. It is going well.
Who rides with it
The two of them. The friend who made the introduction, who attends every anniversary and has upgraded over the years from taking credit to presiding. A porch dog with seniority over both chairs.
Pair it at the next stop
The whole story is on this road: met at a backyard at Bump N Grind, Mile 12, turned into something at Love Spell, Mile 25, toasted between the peach rows at Peach Bellini, Mile 30. And Mahogany Teakwood, Mile 83, said the wood goes soft and sweet deeper in the Basin; this porch is where.
