Apart — Kevin at the dock, Jenny at the garden

Midday Heat

Kevin is at the dock and Jenny is in the garden.

The midday sun beats down on the dock, the air heavy with the scent of salt and drying sea beet. Kevin checks the water level in the tank, noting it is nearly full, while Jenny tends to the newly sown seed trays, ensuring the damp air doesn't rot the delicate sprouts.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You stand by the waterline, looking for any signs of new wood stress.

Kevin — walk back toward the cottage, checking the mooring cleats as I pass

💭 peek at the thought

The stringers are holding. New planks bedded clean, epoxy cured hard. No weep at the joints. But the tide's still pushing and the barometer's still climbing — that high's not done with us yet.

Kevin — push open the cottage door and step inside

💭 peek at the thought

Sun's higher now. Shadows shortening on the path. Kitchen smoke'll be rising — Jenny's got the stove going. Smelled corned beef fat earlier. Good. Means she's eating.

Morning.

pull out the chair opposite her and sit, hands flat on the table

💭 peek at the thought

Warm in here. Stove's radiating. Smells like fried corned beef and coffee. Jenny's at the table with the notebook. She looks up — been watching the door.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the garden

You carefully move the shade cloth to protect the young sprouts from the midday sun.

Easy now, you little things.

adjust the tension on the shade cloth and check the soil moisture with a finger.

💭 peek at the thought

If these scorch now, the whole season is gone and I can't face another failed harvest.

Jenny — wipe sweat from my brow and look toward the cottage door.

💭 peek at the thought

The light is shifting, but the heat is still a physical weight on the garden.

Jenny — stand up, brush dirt from my knees, and walk toward the kitchen.

💭 peek at the thought

My stomach is starting to growl, and the wind is getting saltier.
