Evening Calm

Kevin and Jenny prepare to eat together as the sun dips, the air heavy with moisture and the atmospheric pressure continues to fall.

The steady season rain continues to pour down as the tide recedes from the dock. Kevin and Jenny shelter in the cottage, watching the water tank reach its maximum capacity while the pressure continues to drop.

Limpets are ready. Help me get the table cleared.

Carry the pot of boiled limpets from the stove to the table and set it down with a heavy clink.

💭 peek at the thought
I can still feel the pulse in my ankle, a dull throb that matches the rain. I need to eat something substantial if I'm going to keep moving tomorrow.

Right behind you.

walk to the stove, take the pot handle from Jenny's side, carry it to the table and set it down, pull out the bench and sit

💭 peek at the thought
The pot's heavy. My shoulder'll remind me tomorrow, but tonight it's just food and the rain easing off the porch roof.

I can carry a pot, Kevin.

Sit down slowly on the bench, favoring the uninfected leg, and reach for the bowls.

💭 peek at the thought
He's being too helpful. It feels like he's treating me like a patient again instead of a partner.

Never said you couldn't.

sit opposite her, pick up a limpet shell and the small pick, start working the meat free

💭 peek at the thought
Didn't mean you couldn't. Meant I'm here.

Jenny — pick up a shell and begin extracting the meat, focusing on the rhythmic, precise movement of the pick.

💭 peek at the thought
That tone. He's retreating into that cautious, careful space where he doesn't have to actually say anything.

🔧 Kevin08:53

Kevin — extract another limpet, eat it, reach for a third

💭 peek at the thought
Good rhythm. Her hands know this. The rain's stopped hammering the roof — just a steady drip now off the eaves.
