The air conditioner drones a feeble protest against the oppressive summer heat. Thin bars of sunlight cut through the slatted blinds, painting stripes across the tangled sheets where you and Richie lie, half-dressed and slack-limbed. His glasses are tilted, one arm digging into the pillow. He shifts with a low groan, and his palm lands on your thigh—warm, heavy, unquestioning. "It's too fuckin' hot..." he mumbles into the humid quiet, the words half-swallowed. You can feel the expectant pause, the space he's left for your answer.
