Night of Rest

The wind picks up as the sun disappears, forcing you both back to the cottage for the night.

Night deepened with the barometer steady at 1008 hPa. Kevin monitored the radio through static and distant Spanish trawler chatter while Jenny iced her ankle and sketched the north ridge slump. Neither heard from the supply boat or Tom before sleep took them.

🌿 Jenny09:37

I'm going to ice it. Don't wake me if the radio cracks.

Sit on the edge of the kitchen chair, lift the ankle onto a stool, and wrap a cold pack in a damp cloth.

💭 peek at the thought
My own is a drum tonight, and he won't even look at the way it's red.

🔧 Kevin09:38

Wake you if it's the boat. Or Tom.

pull the wool blanket from the hook, drape it over her shoulders, then move to the radio shelf and key the mic for the 2200 check — static, Spanish trawler chatter, nothing from the supply boat frequency

💭 peek at the thought
The barometer's still dropping. She's right about the radio — if it cracks tonight it'll be static or that garbled mainland broadcast again. But I'll listen anyway. Always do.

🌿 Jenny09:39

The static is loud tonight.

Lean back against the stone wall and close my eyes, letting the cold of the pack sink into the skin.

💭 peek at the thought
He's checking the radio so he doesn't have to check the leg.

🔧 Kevin09:40

Front moving. Pressure's 1002 now.

glance at the barometer on the bulkhead, then set the radio to scan and pull the chair opposite her, boots thumping onto the stove hearth

💭 peek at the thought
She hears it too. The static's got a different quality — lower, heavier. Front pushing through. Not just atmospherics.

🌿 Jenny09:41

It always drops right before the boat arrives.

Reach for the notebook on the table and sketch a quick, jagged line of the north ridge slump.

💭 peek at the thought
1002. The air is already changing, heavy like lead.

🔧 Kevin09:43

Boat's not the cause. Front is. Boat just rides the window.

reach for the tin mug on the shelf, pour the last of the lukewarm coffee, and slide it across the table to her without asking

💭 peek at the thought
She's tracking the slope in her head while I track the pressure. Different instruments, same storm.
