Evening Meal Prep

The sun begins to dip as you both gather in the kitchen to prepare the boiled limpets and sea beet for dinner.

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

🌿 Jenny06:30

Pass the salt, Kevin. These limpets are tougher today.

Picks the meat out of the shell with a fork, wincing as she shifts her weight.

💭 peek at the thought
My ankle is throbbing in time with the tide, and the humidity is still too high for the epoxy to set.

Salt's by the stove. Shells were thicker at the upper pools — longer exposure.

slide the salt tin across the table toward her

💭 peek at the thought
She's favouring the ankle again. Should've wrapped it tighter this morning.

🌿 Jenny06:32

You're right. The zonation patterns are clearer than I expected.

Takes a bite of the sea beet, the salt sharp on her tongue.

💭 peek at the thought
He's noticed things I haven't. Maybe I'm not the only one who sees this place clearly.

Upper pools got more sun this month. Thicker shells, tougher meat.

spear a limpet with my fork and pull the meat free

💭 peek at the thought
She's cataloguing dinner. At least she's eating.

🌿 Jenny06:33

"And the ones down by the cove..." (but trails off, thinking about the compromised seed packets)

Watches him spear the limpet, her fingers tracing the edge of her notebook where she's mapped the limpet clusters.

💭 peek at the thought
He's reading the same tide charts I've been studying for months.

🔧 Kevin06:34

Cove ones were better. Softer. We'll hit that spot tomorrow if the tide times work.

eat the limpet, then reach for the sea beet

💭 peek at the thought
She's gone quiet again. The seeds are eating at her.

🌿 Jenny06:35

Dawn low tide, then. We'll have four hours before the spring tide comes back in.

Opens her notebook to the tide pool mapping page, tracing her pencil over the section where she's marked the softer limpet clusters near the cove.

💭 peek at the thought
The tide chart in my notebook shows tomorrow's low tide will be at dawn. Just like the time I spent checking seed viability while my grandmother's tin sat unopened.

🔧 Kevin06:36

Ankle permitting.

chew the sea beet, watching her face

💭 peek at the thought
Four hours. Enough time if the ankle holds.
