Summary
Linus was hot.
This was an understatement.
It was mid-September, and summer had refused to turn over the reins to autumn. For a week, the temperatures rose to ridiculous heights as summer dug its claws deeper into the month. All day and night, fans oscillated hot air through the house. Zoe had taken them into the deep, shady parts of the forest to find some respite from the merciless sun only to be choked by soupy, humid air.
Linus was miserable. Linus was not a man built for hot temperatures. He was more of a winter man. He carried around his own extra insulation. In the summer, he was a gross, sweaty, sluggish ball of misery. He had given up changing out sweaty shirts for fresh ones this week as he would only sweat through it again in a few minutes. As the days crept deeper into September, Linus prayed to any deity out there for cooler temperatures. Maybe a frost? A frost sounded splendid.
He contemplated this as he lay on his back spread-eagled on the floor of his and Arthur’s bedroom.
