Evening at the shrine

The air remains still and heavy as the light fades. Kevin and Jenny stand by the carved stones, the tide now fully high in the dark.

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

It's going to rain. We should go back to the cottage.

Jenny reaches into her pocket, pulls out the single sea beet seed, and rubs it between her thumb and forefinger.

💭 peek at the thought

If I don't plant it now, I'm just a curator of a graveyard.

Go on. I'll be there in a minute.

stand at the shrine, watching the tide line on the cliffs, letting the darkness settle

💭 peek at the thought

The tide's at the turn. No wind yet but the air tastes like rain — that metallic edge before a front. She's holding the seed like it's a decision. I'll walk back with her but I'm not done here yet.

Don't be long. The barometer is dropping again.

Kevin — turn from the shrine and walk back toward the cottage, boots quiet on the ridge path

💭 peek at the thought

She's planting by feel in the dark. That bed's untreated — pH 5.5, barely above peat. The seed's got salt glands for the spray zone, not garden soil. But she doesn't need me to tell her that. Not tonight.
