In November 2020, I landed in the Virgin Islands and met John at the airport. First, we went to local stores to pick out some clothes for me – he had told me not to bring any. Then, we went back to his place. It was a house built on a cliff and made out of glass in the back. It overlooked the coastline. An outcropping of rocks in a spiral decorated the shore in his backyard. Across about two football fields of ocean, another island lie.
A thicket of palm trees and shrubbery prevented anyone from accessing the ocean via his backyard, but the view alone was breathtaking. I relaxed there for two days before he bought me a flight back to Madison, Wisconsin, where I was living at the time.
A pool with a disappearing edge lie on his back porch. This is a picture of me sitting in front of that pool.
