Apart — Kevin at the dock, Jenny at the north cliffs

Midday at the cottage

Kevin and Jenny meet at the cottage for a midday meal of boiled limpets and corned beef, the barometer steady at 1028 hPa and the tide high.

Kevin walked to the cottage, made tea, and studied his sea beet sketches while the rain fell. Jenny returned from the north cliffs with her notebook and limpets, ate lunch at the table, and checked the seedling trays for humidity.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You stand on the dock, the dinghy tied fast, the Yanmar quiet. You wipe your hands on a rag, looking up the path toward the cottage where smoke curls from the stove pipe.

Kevin — walk up the path toward the cottage

💭 peek at the thought

Fuel pressure held. Engine's ready. Now I wait for the boat that might not come.

Kevin — put the kettle on the stove, pull out the notebook and flip to the sea beet sketches

💭 peek at the thought

Kitchen smells like woodsmoke and corned beef fat. Quiet without her here.

Kevin — pour tea, sit at the table, study the new notebook page with the detailed salt gland illustrations

💭 peek at the thought

Steam rising. Pencil scratching. The salt gland detail on the sea beet sketches is cleaner than yesterday — Jenny's hand, not mine. She was here while I was at the dock.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the north cliffs

You descend the cliff path, notebook tucked under your arm, the tide roaring below. The cottage comes into view, the garden shaded, the air thick with the scent of cooking fat.

🌿 Jenny05:35

Almost there. Just one more ridge.

Walk toward the cottage, wipe salt spray from the notebook cover, and enter the kitchen.

💭 peek at the thought

My hands are shaking from the cold, and I missed the detail on the stalk. I need to check those seedlings again before the rain gets heavier.

🌿 Jenny05:39

Jenny — set the damp notebook on the table and peel the mud off my boots.

💭 peek at the thought

I'm hungry enough to eat the sketches, but the smell of those limpets is actually waking me.

🌿 Jenny05:43

Jenny — pick up the plate of boiled limpets and sit at the table.

💭 peek at the thought

It's still quiet, and the rain is picking up again. I should check the humidity on the seedlings.
