She lay in the bathtub wearing thick clothes.
Water seeped in through her sleeves, pant legs, collar, and every place it could penetrate.
Soon, her clothes were soaked, completely drenched from the inside out.
She soaked in the pool with her soaked clothes for an hour, then walked out of the bathroom like a drenched chicken.
Outside, the air conditioning was on, set to 38 degrees.
Scarlett Yates sat on the ground, wearing clothes drenched in cold water.
The thick clothes were soaked through, leaving a trail of water wherever she walked.
Where she sat, the camel-colored soft carpet quickly became wet.
She sat next to the standing air conditioner, letting the hot air from it blow on her for almost two hours, and most of her clothes had dried.
Her forehead had begun to heat up.
Scarlett tightened the half-dry clothes being warmed, then switched the air conditioner to the cooling mode, lowering it from 38 degrees to just over ten degrees.
