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

Midday Heat and Preparation

The sun is at its peak, and the air is heavy and still.

Kevin pried open the waterlogged crate on the dock, revealing preserved provisions and new rope inside. Jenny completed her sea beet morphology sketch at the north cliffs and gathered limpets for lunch.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You test the tension on the new half-inch three-strand spring line.

🔧 Kevin00:16

Kevin — walk back along the jetty toward the cottage, checking the two rotten planks I marked yesterday.

💭 peek at the thought

The line holds clean. Splice is tight, no slip under hand tension. Good for the supply boat's pull if they show.

🔧 Kevin00:20

Kevin — stop at the waterlogged crate on the dock. Wedge the crowbar under the lid where the salt's eaten the nails. Pry.

💭 peek at the thought

The heat's pressing harder now. Sweat soaking through the shirt at the small of my back. Barometer's steady but the air feels thick, waiting.

🔧 Kevin00:24

Kevin — heave the lid clear and let it fall. Step back. Look inside.

💭 peek at the thought

Lid's stubborn. Wood's swollen tight. Nails scream coming out. Crate's heavier than it looks — waterlogged all the way through.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the north cliffs

You crouch in the shade, avoiding the direct sun while you pry limpets loose.

🌿 Jenny00:14

Stay still, you stubborn thing.

Place the limpets into the metal tin and wipe the grit from my hands.

💭 peek at the thought

My back is aching and the heat is like a physical weight on my shoulders. I need to get these back before the sun dips completely.

🌿 Jenny00:18

Just one more sketch.

Close the notebook and tuck the pencil into the binding.

💭 peek at the thought

The light is changing, but the heat hasn't budged. I should check the water tank before I head back down.

🌿 Jenny00:22

Almost there.

Stand up slowly and brush the sand from my knees.

💭 peek at the thought

The air is shimmering so hard it's difficult to see the horizon. I need to get some water.
