The First Raindrops

They reach the porch just as the first heavy drops of rain hit the tin roof. The generator hums a steady rhythm against the rising wind.

Kevin brought Jenny water and checked the wood stove while Jenny inspected her ankle wound, finding purple tracking lines spreading from the injury.

Porch first. Then stove.

unlock the porch door and hold it for Jenny, stepping back to let her through ahead of me

💭 peek at the thought

Rain on the roof. Generator holding. She's tired — can see it in how she favors the ankle even with the brace. Get her inside, dry, fed. The rest can wait.

Thanks.

Limp slowly into the cottage and sink into the kitchen chair, leaning back to elevate the leg.

💭 peek at the thought

The rain is finally here. Now the humidity will just turn into a soak. I need to get this ankle seen to before the chill sets in.

Water?

fill a mug from the rain tank tap and set it on the table beside her, then move to the wood stove to check the fire

💭 peek at the thought

Good. She's off it. Now water, food, let the leg settle.

Please.

Drink the water in long gulps, then carefully peel back the poorly applied dressing to inspect the purple lines.

💭 peek at the thought

I'm too thirsty to argue about the tank water. The tracking on my ankle is probably deeper than I admitted.
