Apart — Kevin at the dock, Jenny at the garden

Midday work and the tide's pull

Kevin is at the dock securing the mooring ring; Jenny is in the garden tending to seedlings and ankle.

Kevin finishes checking the bolts on the dock one last time, wiping grease from his hands onto a heavy rag before he begins the trek back toward the cottage, noting the tide is starting to turn. Jenny, having finished her garden work, isolates the infected lettuce seedlings in a scrap of newspaper to keep them away from the healthy trays, while pausing to re-tight her ankle brace.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You are at the dock with the greenheart shims and epoxy, tightening the through-bolts of the mooring ring. The tide is falling, exposing the pilings and letting you work on the submerged mortise.

Kevin — wipe hands on rag, check bolt heads once more with wrench, walk back toward cottage

💭 peek at the thought

The ring's holding now — shims seated, bolts at torque. But the north piling's still weeping rust at the waterline. Three days until the boat. If the wind backs west again before then, the whole structure flexes.

Kevin — walk up the path from the dock to the cottage porch, pick up the cold mug, rinse it at the basin, set water to boil for fresh

💭 peek at the thought

Coffee's gone cold in the mug on the porch. Jenny's still at the garden — she'll be at the tomato rows under the shade cloth. The barometer's still rising. Three days. Maybe four.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the garden

You are in the garden, reapplying poultice to your ankle and checking the seed trays for damping-off. The shade cloth flaps in the breeze over the tomato rows as you sort the trays.

Stay down, Jenny. Just stay down.

Bag the two infected lettuce seedlings in a scrap of newspaper and set them aside from the healthy trays.

💭 peek at the thought

The infection is moving too fast. If I don't get this to dry, I won't even make it to the north ridge.

Jenny — wipe the sweat from my eyes and tighten the wrap on my ankle brace.

💭 peek at the thought

The sky is getting darker. If the pressure drops before the boat arrives, I'm stuck here with this rot. everSAY:
