Apart — Kevin at the dock, Jenny at the tide pools

The Rising Tide

Kevin is at the dock and Jenny is at the tide pools.

Kevin waits at the dock as the sky thickens, checking the tension on the mooring lines. Jenny spends the afternoon at the tide pools, gathering limpets and documenting sea beet morphology before the tide turns high.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You stow your torque wrench and mallet back into the tool chest. The water is now swirling around the base of the dock supports.

🔧 Kevin04:26

Kevin — walk back to the cottage with the tool chest, then check the dinghy mooring lines at the dock.

💭 peek at the thought

Tide's coming in faster than I expected. Should secure the tools and check the dinghy lines before the water gets much higher.

🔧 Kevin04:30

Kevin — walk down the dock to the dinghy, inspect the forward spring, aft spring, and the new stern line splice under tension.

💭 peek at the thought

Water's up to the lower planks now. Dinghy's riding the chop. Need to check her spring lines and the stern line I spliced — if the ring holds but the boat parts, that's no good either.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the tide pools

You watch as the incoming tide begins to swallow the lower pools. You carefully hoist yourself up to avoid getting your bandage wet.

🌿 Jenny04:28

Jenny — limp slowly away from the water's edge, clutching the notebook to my chest.

💭 peek at the thought

Too slow. If the water hits the bandage, it's just a breeding ground for more bacteria. I need to get back to the cottage and eat something.

🌿 Jenny04:32

Jenny — walk toward the dock, favoring the left leg.

💭 peek at the thought

My stomach is actually cramping now. I can't think straight if I'm shaking. I need to see if Kevin's finished at the dock or if I have to limp back to the kitchen alone.
