Day 1494
Day 1494 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Cole Whitlow is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days. Bea Callahan has closed the notebook on one small Seahaven mystery, satisfied for now. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Key, and No Lock runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
