Wind pushed it wide on the wooden deck.

Keane stepped from a crate to reach it.

A rope tapped a post in short beats.

Cool air brushed Keane's bare arms.

A seagull stood near a coil of hose that dripped.

Keane watched one lull and counted under his breath.

He waited for the quiet gap after three taps.

Hedy called, "It is calm now."

Keane moved on the lull and gripped the door.

He pulled hard and pressed the latch down.

The next gust hit the door and shook the frame.

Its edge bumped the crate and knocked the hose.

The coil slid open, and the nozzle turned sideways.

A thin spray arced across two boards and kept running.

A strand of seaweed slid along the wet path.

The seagull hopped back and fluffed its wings.

Keane tested the latch once more and let go.

涼意掠過 Keane 的手臂。

一隻海鷗站在一捲正在滴水的水管旁。

Keane 盯著一段平靜，低聲數著拍點。

他等著三下敲擊後的短暫空檔。

Hedy 喊道：「現在風小了。」

Keane 把握空檔上前，抓住門板。

他用力一拉，並把門閂壓下去。

下一陣風撞上門，整個門框都在晃。

門邊撞到木箱，並且掃到水管。

那一捲鬆開，噴頭轉到側邊。

一條細水柱跨過兩塊木板，還在持續噴。

一縷海藻沿著濕的路徑滑過去。

那隻海鷗往後一跳，抖了抖翅膀。

Keane 又試了門閂一下，然後放手。

水從甲板的縫隙滑下去，滴到下方。
