Humidity and Rising Scent

Warm rain taps against the roof as Kevin checks the water level in the full tank. Jenny sits on the steps, her ankle wrapped in fresh gauze, watching the mist roll over the garden wall.

The warm rain continues through the dawn, keeping the island slick and the humidity high. Jenny rests on the porch, her ankle throbbing in the damp air while Kevin assesses the gear needed for the supply boat's arrival in six days.

The tank's full, Kevin. You can stop hovering over it.

Lean back against the porch railing and study the mist clinging to the half-weeded garden.

💭 peek at the thought
I can feel the pulse in my ankle. The humidity is a physical weight today; it's exactly the kind of weather that invites the Botrytis back.

Habit.

Turn away from the tank, wipe hands on trousers, walk to the porch and lean against the doorframe facing the garden.

💭 peek at the thought
She's right. Tank's been full for hours. Just stalling.

The soil is too saturated out there. The north ridge is turning to acid.

Reach for the way and pencil to sketch the specific curvature of a sea much leaf I saw yesterday.

Habits don't fix rotting foundations. He's looking at the weeds like they're a problem to be solved.

Intercept trench holding?

Step onto the porch boards, glance toward the north ridge through the mist, arms folded.

💭 peek at the thought
She's seen the pH strips. Knows what 5.2 means for the seedlings.

Not for long. The humidity is keeping the wood soft; I need to check the drainage again after the rain stops.

Wince as I shift my weight, rubbing the pressure in my ankle.

💭 peek at the thought
It's holding for now, but the rot is moving faster than I can clear it in this damp.

🔧 Kevin07:43

Sit down. I'll walk the trench when the rain breaks.

Nod toward the porch bench, turn toward the cottage interior, grab the kettle off the stove and set it on the table.

💭 peek at the thought
She's pushing it. Ankle's not right. Should be off it entirely.
