“I feel like something’s pressing on my arms and legs,” Mark said, though with a smile.

Each breathed deeply in. Clusters of pinkish blossoms blushed boldly against darker green. Snow-white Oleander winked from wall bushes. Their gaze drew skyward to admire a riot of orange.
“Nature’s bouquet,” she whispered. Speechless, he followed her through a tropic twilight.
So descriptive! I’d say it’s like being there but I think they want to be alone.
