In ancient times, it was said that heat peaks were caused by the star "Canicula", today known as Sirius. It was thought that the star triggered thirty days of strong heat, as it rises and sets at the same time as the sun from 22 July to 22 August. I imagined my heatwave would dissipate naturally around my thirtieth birthday. And then time, temperature and air would freeze. It is not so bad, you sunbathe, you flirt, you become intoxicated. I let myself be lulled by the humidity and I end up becoming attached to this way of life, in a sort of tainted love.
