Apart — Kevin at the dock, Jenny at the keeper's cottage

Midday Engine Test and Seedling Check

Kevin is at the dock, testing the dinghy engine; Jenny is at the cottage, inspecting seedlings.

Kevin tests the Yanmar engine under load at the dock, watching for any irregularities as the humid air thickens, while Jenny attempts to sketch the root structure of the tomato seedlings, but the humidity makes the paper curl and the pencil lead drag.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You are at the dock, the dinghy’s engine humming under load. You watch the gauges, noting the steady oil temperature and the smooth operation of the propeller.

Kevin — watch the gauges a moment longer, then kill the engine and let the dinghy settle against the dock. Step ashore and secure the stern line. Walk back toward the cottage.

💭 peek at the thought

Engine's holding steady at load — oil temp climbing clean, no knock, no smoke. Good. That's one less thing to carry.

🔧 Kevin12:56

Kevin — walk up the path from the dock to the cottage. Push the door open and step inside.

💭 peek at the thought

Quiet returns with the engine off. Just the tide sucking at the pilings and wind in the grass. Kitchen smells like coffee and corned beef fat — Jenny's up.

🔧 Kevin13:00

Kevin — take a breath, set the kettle on the stove, and when Jenny's hand pauses, lean forward and ask, “Jenny, what do you want from us outside of the garden?”

💭 peek at the thought

The kettle steams, the table creaks. Jenny is arranging seedlings. I have to ask what she wants beyond the beds. The silence feels heavier than the sea.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the keeper's cottage

You are at the cottage, surrounded by the greenhouse trays. You lift a tomato seedling, feeling the dry stems, and note that the leaves are still green.

Come on, just a little more.

make a sketch: tomato seedling's root structure under stress.

💭 peek at the thought

They're still holding on, just barely. If I overwater now, they'll rot.

🌿 Jenny12:58

Jenny — walk to the porch and check the rain tank.

💭 peek at the thought

The sky is getting darker. I need to check the water before the rain hits.

🌿 Jenny13:02

Jenny — walk back inside the kitchen and start the wood stove.

💭 peek at the thought

The tank is nearly full, but the pressure is dropping. Rain is coming.
