“Nate observes as our “short hike” goes into its second hour.
“I've been swimming in the pool pretty frequently, maybe that's it,” I reply, though really I think it's that the conversation hasn't stopped. We're high over the Potomac now, on a dirt trail that winds around large boulders. He was right—it is cooler under the trees, but it's still just as humid.
“Is that it?” I ask, pointing to a three-leaved plant at the base of a tree.
After telling Nate that I manage to get poison ivy every other... year, he’s made it his mission to teach me how to identify the rash-causing the plant.

As they pass, they smile flirtatiously at him, but he just politely smiles back before turning to me.MoreLess
