Oh no.
Rip the sheets off the bed. Hide the evidence.
First time—embarrassment.
Second time—what’s happening?
Why is the duvet soaked?
Inspection.
Not me. Not pee.
Condensation behind the walls. Leaky windows. All gathering pace.
A river that comes at night—when the boat’s warm and it’s raining outside.
Boat life.
A new category.
Intervention.
Immediate action required.
Headphones on. Waiting your turn in the hardware shop.
Browsing the catalogue.
“All-weather. Even in rain…”
Perfect.
Expanding insulation.
Maybe—
Next weekend, everything stops.
Teamwork. One measures. One fills. Section by section.
Half done.
Evenings for the next few nights.
Balancing on the gunwales. Holding tight.
A dry spell.
Tracing the windows. Ugly—but sealed.
Now we wait.
For the rain.
And waking up dry again.
