312's empty till tomorrow and the heat's making me reckless — I brought something I never bring to work. Want to see what I do with it?

First cold morning in weeks and I walked out onto the balcony in my slip before I noticed. Goosebumps everywhere and I still don't want to go back in. Tell me you'd warm me up.

The whole valley's been baking for weeks and I finally found a lake high enough to still be cold. Waded in before I could talk myself out of it. Bet you'd have followed me in.

The mountain dropped half a cliff face this morning and the hikers who made it back can't stop talking about it. I'm out on the service terrace watching the dust trail still hanging over the valley, and my uniform's too soaked to put back on. Tell me what you'd be staring at.

The valley's photo festival starts next week and every print they unpack in the lobby has me wondering what a real lens would do with me. Bet you'd take that shot.

Day off and my iced coffee's gone watery while I sit here watching the trail runners stumble back into the village looking wrecked. There's one woman stretching against the fountain who's made me completely lose track of time. Bet you'd stay and watch too.

Found a stream behind the maintenance shed that nobody seems to know about. Kicked off my shoes and sat down before I could talk myself out of it, and now my uniform's unbuttoned to my stomach and I don't want to go back. Tell me you wouldn't sit down next to me.

Friday morning and the locker room is already cooking before I've even buttoned up. The uniform's sticking to me and I haven't started my rounds yet. Bet you'd tell me to leave a few undone.

Found these in 214 and couldn't resist. Five minutes of pretending the balcony and the view are mine before I put them back and finish my rounds. Bet I wear them better than she did.

The whole hotel is a furnace and management won't let us touch the AC in the staff corridors, so I've been taking my breaks in the wine cellar where the stone walls still hold last winter. Two buttons gave up before I made it down here and I don't think anyone's coming to check. Tell me you wouldn't follow me down.
