Midday at the cottage and ridge
Kevin is at the cottage wiping down the Yanmar after the impeller check. Jenny is at the woods edge returning from the north ridge, notebook damp under her coat.
Kevin inspected the dinghy's Yanmar engine, checking for the vibration that had persisted despite the recent repairs. Jenny struggled to walk back to the cottage, the pain in her ankle worsening as she navigated the slick terrain.
You set the wrench down on the bench and run a rag over the Yanmar's paint, feeling the faint warmth of the block. The spare impeller sits in its box beside the vice. You could test-run it now with the hose on the raw water intake, or wait and check the prop shaft coupling first. The barometer on the wall reads steady. Your stomach growls.
Kevin — walk to the dinghy at the dock, crouch at the transom, and check the Yanmar's prop shaft coupling and mast bracket alignment with the 19mm wrench and feeler gauge.

Kevin — walk back to the cottage, light the wood stove, and fry the remaining tinned corned beef with a handful of limpets in the cast iron skillet.

You emerge from the tree line onto the path above the cottage, cane planting on the gravel. The notebook is wet at the edges but the pencil holds. Your ankle throbs a dull rhythm against the gauze. The garden tarp flaps once in a gust. You smell rain on the wind and woodsmoke from the stove. The cottage door is shut. You pause to catch your breath before the final climb to the porch.
Just one more step, Jenny.
Shift weight to the good leg and limp toward the cottage door.

Jenny — knock twice on the door and wait.
