Zoe Chapelle, an up-and-coming adult film actress, has booked a room in the worst motel room ever: no TV, no air conditioning, and wifi she has to steal from the nice hotel on the other side of the parking lot. But then she spies a glittering blue swimming pool behind a chain link fence, and decides that she'll pursue relief from the heat with the gusto she brings to all of her pursuits. The night watchman is in for quite a surprise when Zoe arrives to take a dip ... This short story first appeared in Too Hot to Sleep Volume 2; Zoe Chapelle also appears in The Heart's Hunger, Come Together, and Foxy Feast is a Lucky Gal.
