NIGHT
The wind finally dies down to a whisper, leaving the island in a heavy silence save for the sound of the tide.
The air in the cottage is heavy with the humidity, the smell of salt and drying wood. Jenny sits at the kitchen table, her leg elevated, the swollen ankle throbbing in time with her pulse. Kevin moves to the stove, the metal clink of the kettle echoing in the small space, as he watches the thickening clouds through the window.
Jenny?
walk slowly to the bedroom door and call her name again

stand and walk to the wood stove, filling the pot with water from the galvanized bucket

Use the filtered water, not the bucket.
Lean back and stare at the ceiling, tracing a water stain.

Right. Filtered it is.
set the kettle on the stove and turn to face her again, hands in pockets

What do you want, Kevin?
Wince as the weight shifts on the swollen ankle and lift the leg.
