After the Tide
The day Wren came back to Saltfog, fog rolled in off the water. By the time the ferry touched the pier, all she could see of the lighthouse was its outline, like a candle someone had blown out halfway through.
−She climbed the stone steps. They were old, every one of them worn to a shine by generations of keepers, with small wet moss growing in the cracks, so that you had to be careful where you put your feet. She went slowly, and as she went she remembered being small, her grandfather holding her hand, when her legs were short enough that each step took two of her own.
+She climbed the steps that generations of keepers had worn to a shine. As a child, her grandfather holding her hand, each one had taken two strides; now it took one, and she was faster than her memory of it.AcceptReject
The lamp room door was not locked. She turned the brass handle, pushed it open, and felt along the wall for the old switch. She paused for a moment. Then she pressed it, and the lamp came on.
The beam swept the water and turned the fog a dirty white. She understood, suddenly, why her grandfather had never agreed to move down into town. Up here you were the only person who could make the night step back.
Footsteps came from below, light ones, stopping halfway up the stair. Wren did not turn around. She had known the town would come sooner or later. She had not expected the first of them to walk so quietly.

The first two paragraphs drag. Tighten them, and when the lamp comes on, give me one concrete sensory detail.
Read complete[Article]Chapter 7 · The Lamp Room· 14 blocks

I've read all 14 blocks of the chapter. The first two paragraphs both set up weather and the stairs, and they repeat each other; the first real action, her opening the door and pressing the switch, doesn't arrive until paragraph 3.

I’ll make three edits: cut paragraph 1 to the ferry and the lighthouse outline, fold the stair memory in paragraph 2 into one contrast, and add a single touch or smell to paragraph 3 as the lamp comes on.

You've accepted the first one; the second is marked in the draft for you to accept or reject. For paragraph 3 I'll add a single sentence and leave your pacing alone.
