Apart — Kevin at the garden, Jenny at the dock

Midday Heat

The punishing sun beats down on the island as the tide begins its slow turn.

The midday sun beats down on the garden as Kevin struggles to maintain the seedlings in the oppressive heat. Jenny works at the dock, checking the mooring lines and preparing for the receding tide.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the garden

You wipe sweat from your brow, ensuring the tarp is staked taut against the heat.

Kevin — pull the loose tarp corner tight, drive the stake deeper with the mallet, wipe sweat from eyes

💭 peek at the thought

Should've done this at dawn. Ground's too hot to kneel on now.

🔧 Kevin11:32

Kevin — walk the perimeter of the garden wall, test each tarp stake, kick dirt over the one lifting on the west side

💭 peek at the thought

Tarp's holding. Should check the other three corners while I'm down here.

🔧 Kevin11:36

Kevin — walk back to the cottage, grab the prop puller and socket set from the workshop, head down to the dock

💭 peek at the thought

West corner's solid now. Knees are complaining. Time to get the prop off the Yanmar before the tide turns.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the dock

You lean on your good leg, staring at the chalk line on the blackened wood.

Jenny — make sketch: Dock Piling Rot Diagram

💭 peek at the thought

Three feet of rot. It's not just a few soft planks; the foundation is giving way. Kevin is so focused on the engine's heartbeat that he can't feel the ground dissolving under his feet.

🌿 Jenny11:34

Jenny — limp slowly back toward the cottage

💭 peek at the thought

My ankle is pulsing. I need to get off these planks and back to the cottage before I lose my balance.
