Let’s Cool Off

Inspired by @Lanyssae6399294 I’m So Hot! Aederia hates the beach, hates sand, hates strangers, and hates pretending public heat is romantic. So she has claimed the next best thing: a secluded courtyard pool hidden behind old stone walls, crimson ivy, black iron gates, and violet-shaded canopy cloth. The water is cool, the drinks are dangerously sweet, and the only people allowed inside are the ones she likes enough not to bite.
