Thanks so much for all the wonderful feedback. This is definitely one of my favorite parts of this story. I had so much fun writing it. I'm glad you all felt like you could envision the tour, whether you've been there or not. DC is one of my all-time favorite cities, and the year I spent there was one of the best of my life.

A blast from the past... I was remembering my own moonlight tour of the monuments. Not, unfortunately, with such a hot tour guide
LOL! Yeah, Clark doensn't come with the standard tour.

I love this part! The double meaning is soooo sweet (assuming that you really did intend that extra layer of...unspokeness
Yes, definitely intentional. I'm glad everyone loved this part. It's definitely a line that just popped out at me. I was envisioning what they would see if they were standing there rotating in a circle. (Something I've done many times) and I realized that when you keep going, you end up right at the beginning. And I knew I had to use that.

Thanks again,
Annie
