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

Rising Afternoon Heat

Kevin is back at the dock while Jenny remains at the cottage.

Kevin walked from the dock to the cottage and stepped inside. Jenny ate a limpet while studying her sea beet sketches, then went to the kitchen counter for antiseptic and gauze.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You stand by the dock, watching the water lap against the reinforced lower pilings.

Kevin — walk up the path toward the cottage

💭 peek at the thought

Tide's high and still rising. The oak wedges and doubler plate are holding the mooring ring solid — no shift under the last surge. But the north piling rot line's advanced three millimetres in six hours. The wedge is buying time, not solving. Need to check the starboard sister joint at low water tomorrow.

Kevin — reach the cottage porch and step inside

💭 peek at the thought

The path's slick with salt spray and the air sits heavy. Barometer's at 991 and steady — storm's not breaking yet, just waiting. Cottage roof shows dark through the trees. Smoke from the stove, so Jenny's up and moving. Good.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the keeper's cottage

You sit at the table, letting the slight breeze dry the damp paper sketches.

🌿 Jenny12:00

Jenny — pick up a limpet and eat slowly, staring at the sea beet morphology sketch.

💭 peek at the thought

My stomach is growling louder than the radio static, and these limpets are barely enough for another day of this heat.

🌿 Jenny12:04

Jenny — stand up slowly and walk to the kitchen counter to find the antiseptic and clean gauze.

💭 peek at the thought

The infection on my ankle is throbbing again; if I don't clear the boundary, I won't be able to reach the north ridge tomorrow.
