When a colossal rainstorm hits, my stepdad asks me to help him pump water out of the pool so it doesnโt overflow. Still in my pajamas, I head out in my rain boots and jacket. My stepdad takes the bigger tasks, but when I fall into the icy water of the pool, his focus is all on me. Iโm drenched. Iโm freezing. He carries me into the pool house and strips me down. And thatโs when things heat up.
