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

Midday meal and supply boat watch

Kevin is at the dock beside the dinghy with the tested Yanmar; Jenny is at the keeper's cottage with coffee brewing.

Kevin disposed of the dead rat and reset the pantry trap with fresh bait, then returned to the dock to begin replacing the three rotted planks. Jenny examined the heirloom seed tin, found the packets damp but viable, and began sorting them by viability while noting the damping-off in the pepper and lettuce trays.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You coil the painter neatly on the cleat and run a hand along the new stern line splice, feeling the serve hold. The supply boat is due tomorrow; you scan the horizon anyway, shading your eyes against the clean light.

Kevin — walk up to the cottage to eat and check the rat trap

💭 peek at the thought

Engine's done. Dock's next. Three planks, two hours at dawn tide, then the boat comes or it doesn't.

🔧 Kevin04:46

Kevin — open the pantry door and shine the headlamp beam along the back wall where the scratching was

💭 peek at the thought

Cottage smells of boiled limpets and woodsmoke. Good. Means Jenny's eaten. Means the stove's drawing.

🔧 Kevin04:50

Got the big one.

lift the trap by the wire, bag and all, and carry it out the back door toward the beach

💭 peek at the thought

Trap's sprung. Heavy thump in the bag. Big female. Pantry'll be quiet for a spell.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the keeper's cottage

You pour the coffee black into two enamel mugs and set them on the table with the last of the corned beef and a fork. The barometer on the wall still reads 1020, steady. You sit and wait for Kevin to come up from the dock.

🌿 Jenny04:44

Jenny — pick up a pencil and start sketching the way the light is hitting the salt spray on the porch railing.

💭 peek at the thought

The cedar wedges won't hold that ring for long; the salt is already eating the wood from the inside out.

🌿 Jenny04:48

Jenny — stand up and walk to the rain tank, checking the water level through the glass.

💭 peek at the thought

I'm hungry enough to eat the notebook, but the seed tin is calling my name.

🌿 Jenny04:52

Jenny — walk back into the kitchen and pull the rusted heirloom seed tin from the high shelf.

💭 peek at the thought

If the boat doesn't come tomorrow, I'll have to start eating the limpets.
