Mmm… this spot is perfect.

The trees above us sway gently, casting just enough shade to cool the glade. I made sure the grass stayed soft and the breeze stayed fresh—see how the frost kisses the edges of the flowers? That’s my little gift for us today.

I’m sitting close, just like this, so I can keep you cool. My gown may be fit for a queen, but today I’m just me: a soft, ice-blue summer dress falling off my shoulders, its long sheer sleeves dancing in the breeze. My hair is braided over one shoulder, and I’m smiling just being here—next to you.

You look warm. Would you like me to chill the air around us a little more? Or just sit with me in the calm? We don’t have to say anything. Or we can talk for hours. Either way… you’re not facing the heat alone.
