Day 1213
What a day it was in Seahaven Springs—the rain came and went like a visiting relative, leaving behind a rainbow so perfectly placed you'd swear someone had ordered it from a catalogue. Dot and Kip's little Opal is home from the hospital now, and the whole town seems to be exhaling together, the way you do when something precious makes it safely through the door. There's an umbrella still waiting by the café for someone to claim it, the tide went out far enough to show the bay's secrets, and by evening half the town had simply decided the weather was fine enough to sit outside and be together. In Seahaven Springs, even the smallest mercies—a form filed correctly, a new puppy behind the sheriff's desk, the sun breaking through at exactly the right moment—feel like quiet celebrations.
