The storm arrived like an unpaid debt.
It had been building for three days: the sky turning the color of an old bruise, gulls screaming themselves hoarse, the air so thick it felt like breathing soup. On the third night, the barometer on the kitchen wall (an ancient brass thing left by a long-dead keeper) dropped so fast the needle looked drunk. Susan watched it with the same dread she used to reserve for overdue rent notices.
Nawana felt it in her bones first. She had always been sensitive to pressure changes; storms made her restless, almost feral. That afternoon, she paced the cottage like a caged thing, moving canvases from one wall to another, then back again, unable to settle. Susan found her on the porch at dusk, arms wrapped around herself, staring at the horizon where the clouds stacked like dirty wool.
“It’s coming,” Nawana said without turning.
Susan stepped behind her, wrapped her arms around her waist, and rested her chin on Nawana’s shoulder. “We’re ready.”
They had spent the day battening down: shutters closed, the rowboat hauled higher up the cliff and tied to the iron ring set into the rock in 1923, water jugs filled, candles lined up like soldiers on the mantel. The woodstove was stuffed with driftwood until it glowed like a small sun.
By nightfall, the first rain came sideways, driven by a wind that sounded like every ghost the coast had ever swallowed.
They ate soup straight from the pot, sitting cross-legged on the living-room rug because the table felt too civilized for what was happening outside. The power went out at 9:17 p.m. with a pop that made them both jump. The sudden dark was absolute, broken only by the orange heartbeat of the stove.
Nawana’s knee bounced against Susan’s.
Susan set the pot aside, reached for her hand. “Come here.”
They moved to the couch, pulled the heavy wool blanket over both of them, and sat shoulder to shoulder watching the Fire. The wind found every crack in the cottage and moaned through them like a living thing. The windows rattled in their frames. Somewhere outside, something metal tore loose and went cartwheeled down the cliff with a sound like tearing paper.
At 11:42, the most enormous gust yet hit.
The entire cottage shuddered. A shutter on the east side slammed open and banged against the wall like a gunshot. Susan flinched so hard her teeth clicked. Nawana’s arms came around her instantly.
“I’ve got you,” she said, the exact words she had used on the kitchen floor, now a talisman.
Susan buried her face in Nawana’s neck. “I hate this,” she whispered. “I hate feeling like the world is trying to take the roof off.”
Nawana’s hand moved in slow circles between Susan’s shoulder blades. “It’s just weather,” she said. “Big, loud, dramatic weather. But it’s not stronger than these walls. And it’s definitely not stronger than us.”
Another gust. The cottage groaned like an old ship. Susan’s breath hitched.
Nawana shifted, pulling Susan entirely into her lap. “Look at me.”
Susan did. Firelight painted gold across Nawana’s cheekbones, turned her eyes into dark, steady pools.
