The Calm Before the Storm

The rain intensifies, turning into a heavy downpour as the wind begins to howl through the shutters.

Kevin spends the rising tide reinforcing the structural integrity of the dock and checking the generator for leaks. Jenny focuses on tending to the garden beds, ensuring the new seedlings are protected from the salt spray of the incoming tide.

Gonna walk the dock lines and check the tarp battens. Back in ten.

Pull on oilskin jacket, grab headlamp from hook, step out onto porch into the driving rain

💭 peek at the thought
Storm's here proper. Barometer's at 980 and steady but that wind's got teeth. Need to check the dinghy mooring and the garden tarp anchors before dark. Jenny's ankle won't like the pressure drop.

Be careful with the south piling! It's still soft!

Lean back against the table and pull the wool blanket over my legs.

💭 peek at the thought
He's going out in this? He'll just get the lines tangled in the swell. I can't even stand up without my ankle screaming.

South piling's got the sister brace and the greenheart shim. I'll check the bolts but I won't lean on it.

Step down off the porch onto the slick grass, headlamp beam cutting through rain toward the dock

💭 peek at the thought
She remembers the south piling. Good. Means she's tracking.

Jenny — reach for the tin of coffee and pour a mug, watching his light bob through the sheets of rain.

💭 peek at the thought
He thinks a shim is a cure-all. The ground is turning to slurry under this rain.

(nothing — already gone into the rain)

Reach the dock, crouch at the landward cleat first — test the stern spring tension by hand, feel for slack in the doubled line

💭 peek at the thought
Coffee steam rising. She's warm enough to make it. That's something.

🌿 Jenny01:27

Jenny — grip the warm mug with both hands, eyes fixed on the dark where the headlamp disappeared.

💭 peek at the thought
If that line snaps, the dinghy goes to the rocks and I can't swim out to get it.
