The air is thick with heat. My skin is glowing brown from hours of sun exposure. My hair frames my face in coils, despite my best efforts to pull it back. I have been wearing loose fitted dresses to minimize the amount of warmth trapped against my body. When I approach a piece of furniture (be it a couch or chair) I don't sit. Instead I melt into the support, my body exhausted from the smallest exertion. However, I am comfortable. I can find a room with air conditioning, or sit outside and feel a passing breeze. My body soaks in all that is summer.
