the house came alive in the heat

I can't wait for nights like these; too hot to sleep and too tired to cool down and still feeling the sun on my back long after it's gone down. Eating ice cubes and mangoes and swimming in Grace's pool and in the ocean. Getting sand in my bed and salt in my eyebrows.
Summer is a beautiful thing.

sigh

Exhausted, sore and sunburnt. I can't wait to fall into bed, with the sun still on my skin, a beautiful reminder of the months yet to come.
I am loved. I am content.
Feels like this.
