Apart — Kevin at the spring, Jenny at the garden

The Approaching Front

Kevin is at the spring while Jenny tends to the garden beds.

Kevin spent the afternoon at the spring, checking the intake and preparing for the coming supply boat. Jenny worked in the garden, monitoring the heirloom seedlings and managing the heavy humidity of the dry season.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the spring

You lean against the stone basin, watching the clouds darken. The cool water is the only relief today.

Kevin — drink from the basin, then walk back to the cottage

💭 peek at the thought

Should test that water before we drink more. Kit's back at the cottage. Barometer's still falling — rain's coming proper tonight. Trench held with the lime backfill but the clay walls are weeping at the sides. Might need slate lining if this keeps up.

🔧 Kevin04:00

Kevin — walk up the path to the cottage porch, set down the spade, grab the water test kit from the shelf

💭 peek at the thought

Water tasted clean, cold. No metallic tang. Good sign but not proof. Cottage porch in sight — Jenny's at the garden beds below. Her cane leaning against the tomato stakes. She's moving slower today.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the garden

You tighten the stakes on the shade cloth. A faint cool wind begins to pick up from the north.

🌿 Jenny03:59

Come on, just hold.

wipe the sweat from my brow and walk back toward the cottage to check the radio.

💭 peek at the thought

The pressure is dropping too fast. If the rain hits hard now, the seedlings will be washed out.

🌿 Jenny04:02

Jenny — stand on the porch and look toward the spring path, squinting against the grey light.

💭 peek at the thought

The silence is too heavy. Kevin should have been back from the spring by now.
