As she drove through the city, the heat seemed to radiate off the buildings and pavement, making it feel like she was driving through a giant oven. She rolled down the windows, but the hot air just rushed in, making her feel like she was suffocating.

Ava looked out over the city, feeling a little better. The view was stunning, with the lights of the city twinkling like stars below. She took a sip of her drink, feeling the cool liquid slide down her throat.

When she arrived at the bar, Rachel was already there, sipping on a cold drink. She looked up and smiled as Ava approached. "Hey, girl! I'm so glad you're here. I was starting to think I was going to have to send out a search party."
