The First Rain Drops
Kevin returns to the cottage as the first heavy drops of rain begin to lash against the roof.
Kevin spent the evening securing the west-facing shutters, hammering timber battens into the cottage-work to brace for the coming pressure. Jenny stayed inside, watching him through the window while struggling with the throbbing pain in her ankle, ultimately refusing to use the scalpel.
Shutters first, then I'll look at your ankle.
Walk to the cottage porch and start securing the west-facing shutters with the timber battens and rope.

The pressure is dropping too fast. It's going to blow.
Sit on the kitchen chair, clutching my throbbing ankle, and watch him work through the window.

Aye. Barometer's at 1002 and moving. Going to finish the shutters, then check the dinghy lines at the dock. You stay off that ankle.
Finish battening the west shutters, then grab the headlamp and walk to the dock to inspect and reinforce the dinghy mooring lines.

The ankle... I need to drain it before it gets worse. The ankle... I need to drain it before it gets worse.
Reach for the scalpel on the shelf, then hesitate and close my hand into my fist instead. </think>THOUGHT: He's securing everything except the thing that's killing me.
