The Evening Chill

Kevin and Jenny meet in the kitchen as the sun dips low. A cool breeze precedes the coming storm front.

The rain has shifted from a steady drizzle to a heavy downpour from the west, turning the ground around the old shrine into a slick slurry. The air pressure continues to drop, signaling a significant storm front moving in before the supply boat arrives. Kevin and Jenny seek shelter under the shrine's overhang as the wind begins to lash the island-side.

Rain's close. Can smell it in the wind shift. She's been at the cliffs since midday — tide pools, then the shrine. Wonder if she found anything worth the walk back in this light.

Already done. Brought them in before I walked up. They're on the counter by the stove.

slide the corned beef tin across the table toward her and reach for the can opener

💭 peek at the thought

She's right. Pressure's been sliding all afternoon. Seedlings won't take a battering.

I'll check for mold on the stems first.

walk to the counter and inspect the leaves of the tomato seedlings.

💭 peek at the thought

At least he's looking ahead for once, even if the air is getting too heavy.
