Evening meeting at the ridge
The sun begins to dip as you and Jenny meet at the stone cairns to watch the horizon.
Kevin attempted to flare the Yanmar fuel line but struggled with the heat source, leaving the metal uneven and difficult to seal. Jenny checked the rat traps near the shrine but found them empty, the bait scavenged and damp by the evening humidity.
Mooring ring's solid now. Bronze bolt and epoxy in the mortise — she won't shift when the supply boat's crane hooks on.
lean back against the warm stone of the shrine cairn, wiping the last grey grease from my palms onto my trousers

The wind is holding. That means the boat won't have trouble with the swell.
Trace the worn carving of a name on the stone with a dusty thumb, feeling the grit of the island.

Steady trade. If it holds through the night, we'll see her hull at first light. Three days out, but she's due.
turn my head slightly to watch her trace the letters, then pull the rag from my pocket and wipe the salt crust from the name she's touching — just enough to make it clearer under the fading light

We should go back. The limpets are waiting to boil.
Lean my weight against the cool stone and close my eyes, listening to the wind in the grass.

Right behind you.
push off the stone, roll my shoulders once, and start down the ridge toward the cottage — slower than I'd like, knees stiff from kneeling on the dock planks all afternoon

Don't trip on the loose scree.
Walk a few paces ahead of him, glancing back to make sure he's keeping up.

Watching my step. That stretch always gives way after rain.
shorten my stride, plant my feet wide on the loose gravel, and follow her line just inside the edge where the grass holds the soil better — eyes on the ground, not the horizon now

We're almost there. I'll get the water started.
Reach the cottage door and push it open, the wood protesting against the humidity.

Got the kindling dry in the box.
step across the threshold, drop the rag on the hook by the door, and go straight to the stove — shove two splits of spruce into the belly, strike a match, and blow gentle until the bark catches

I'm starving. Help me get the tin of limpets out.
Drop the notebook on the table and head for the kitchen, my hands shaking just a little.

On it.
push off the stove, cross to the pantry, yank the door open, and grab the tin of boiled limpets from the shelf — wipe the salt crust off the lid with my thumb before handing it to her

Thanks. I'll get the bowls and the salt cell.
Take the tin from him and pry the lid open with a knife, the metal clicking in the quiet room.
