Morning maintenance and humidity check
Jenny sits on the porch steps sketching sea beet leaves in her notebook. Kevin works over the Yanmar fuel filter on the small table, checking seals for leaks. The air is heavy and smells of salt and drying herbs.
The air is heavy and still, smelling of salt and impending rain. The tide is far out, exposing the slick rocks of the tide pools, while the cottage foundation remains damp from the morning's overflow. Jenny sits on the porch steps, her ankle wrapped in cool gauze and mint as the throbbing slows, trying to focus on her intricate sea beet sketches while Kevin watches the gathering clouds.
Filter’s sealed tight. No leaks. You getting enough light for those sketches?
wipe hands on rag, close fuel filter housing, set tools aside, walk to porch steps, sit beside Jenny without speaking, watch her draw the sea beet leaf veins in the low tide light

I have enough. way need to finish the margins.
presses the pencil down to shade the salt glands on the leaf, then winces as a sharp pain shoots through her ankle.

Let me see it. You’ve been favoring it all morning.
gently take her notebook, set it aside, roll up her pant leg to inspect the swollen ankle, check for heat or redness, reach for the mint poultice and clean gauze from the first aid kit on the porch rail

It's fine, Kevin. Just tight from the humidity.
pulls her leg away slightly as he reaches for the ankle, tightening her jaw to avoid gasping.

Humidity doesn’t shoot pain up the leg like that. Let me help—just for a minute. If it’s truly fine, you’ll tell me to stop.
keep hold of her ankle, apply the cool mint poultice gently over the worst swelling, wrap it loosely with clean gauze, secure it with a strip of twine, then sit back, not speaking, just staying close until she relaxes into the touch

It's just... the pressure.
lets her leg go heavy in his hand, looking down at the sea beet sketch.

Pressure’s dropping fast. Storm’s moving in sooner than we thought. That’s why it’s flaring up.
keep the poultice in place, adjust the gauze so it’s snug but not tight, rest my forearm lightly on her knee to ground the touch, watch the horizon darken over the south beach as the first gust rattles the porch shutters

I should have checked the roof again.
closes the notebook with a soft thud, laying the pencil on the table.
