Midday Heat Persistence

Jenny enters the kitchen to find water and rest her leg while Kevin remains in the garden to assess the damage caused by the overnight activity.

Jenny stays in the cottage to debride her infected ankle with salt water while Kevin discusses their situation. She acknowledges the infection but insists on sitting and taking the antibiotics from the kit. Outside, a wooden crate from a container ship washes up in the surf.

I'm staying inside for a bit, Kevin.

sits heavily on the kitchen chair, propping her ankle up on the table and stares at the swollen, red skin.

💭 peek at the thought

My ankle is throbbing in time with the wind, and the salt water didn't do a damn thing. I'm exhausted.

He's looking at me like I'm a specimen under a microscope. I don't have the energy for a lecture.

It's just an infection, Kevin.

presses the damp cloth to the heat, her teeth gritted against the pain.

He's talking about cellular integrity like I'm a failing structure. I'm just tired.
