A Quiet Stretch

Back at the cottage.

No narrator was available, so nothing about this stretch was recorded.

Morning.

Walk to the wood stove, set water to boil for coffee.

💭 peek at the thought

The dinghy stern line still has that rolling hitch. Needs a proper long splice before we trust it. Coffee first, then the rope.

Morning.

walk to the window and observe the east garden beds where the shade cloth now hangs properly tensioned against the morning sun.

💭 peek at the thought

The water is already hot enough for coffee, but he's going through the motions again. I should check if he noticed the shade cloth adjustments I made yesterday.

Kevin — measure coffee into the pot, pour boiling water over it, let it steep.

💭 peek at the thought

She's checking the shade cloth tension first thing. Means she slept light, or not much. The beds are holding.

Coffee's getting bitter. I'll check the shade cloth tension again.

head toward the east side of the cottage where the garden begins, fingers already itching to feel the cloth's tightness against the frame.

💭 peek at the thought

He's making coffee like we've done every morning for six years, but the ritual feels different now. Like we're already speaking different languages.

It held through the blow. Leave it.

Pour two mugs, set one on the table for her. Take the first sip from mine, black.

💭 peek at the thought

Let her. She knows the cloth better than I do.
