The afternoon sun was unusually hot, and even the warm sea breeze could not temper the scorching heat.
Flossie Wright, being "dragged" ashore, slightly furrowed her brows. Her body submerged in the water was cold to the bone, but everything above her shoulders was exposed to the glaring sun. The fierce sun striking her skin created a stark contrast between the burning sensation and the icy coldness of her legs.
Under such an intense sun, her emotions inadvertently grew a little lazy. Flossie squinted slightly. The dazzling light high in the sky reflected in her eyes, leaving multilayers of shadows on her retinas.
