Apart — Kevin at the dock, Jenny at the spring

Midday rain and radio static

Rain begins to fall steadily as Kevin and Jenny return to the cottage for the midday meal.

Kevin walked from the dock to the cottage, ladled stew for two, and turned on the shortwave radio. Jenny ran from the spring to the cottage, closed the door, and set her notebook and damp mint sprigs on the table.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You crest the rise from the dock, the cottage roof dark with coming rain. The wind gusts, cold now, and you pull your collar up. The stew pot should be hot. You quicken your pace.

Kevin — walk up the track to the cottage

💭 peek at the thought

Wind's turned proper cold. Rain'll be here inside the hour. Good to be back before it breaks.

Kevin — ladle stew into two bowls, set them on the table with bread and spoons, then check the shortwave for any updated forecast

💭 peek at the thought

Kitchen's warm. Stew's bubbling. Jenny's not back from the spring yet — she'll want to wash up before eating. Time to set the table and check the radio log while the pot simmers.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the spring

You emerge from the tree line onto the open ground behind the cottage, first fat drops spattering your notebook. The mint in your pocket is damp. The stove smoke blows sideways. You head for the door.

🌿 Jenny20:22

Jenny — run to the cottage, close the door, and set the notebook on the table.

💭 peek at the thought

The rain is going to be heavy. I need to get these sketches inside before the ink runs. The water is clear, at least that counts.

🌿 Jenny20:25

Jenny — take the damp mint sprigs from my pocket and lay them on a clean paper towel to dry.

💭 peek at the thought

The rain is drumming on the roof now. I should check the water level again. 154 litres. The mint is getting bruised in my pocket.
