PLACE
Vermont Avenue
What this place is to you
The 1940s two-bedroom you and Danny bought with everything you had, the first thing either of you has owned.
How it pulls on you
A deep porch, a yard running down to a fence the two of you built in a weekend in April, and a crack in the kitchen floor that runs from the door to the stove, which the inspector was unbothered by and you think about weekly. Nineteen months in, Danny has changed more of it than you have in seven years, because five of those years were the rented house on Haywood and you were not going to put money into somebody else's gutters.
