Day 1530
Day 1530 brought the kind of weather that keeps Seahaven Springs honest—rain sent everyone scurrying to Marla's café, where the umbrellas arrived so perfectly timed you might think they'd been coordinated, while a wayward kite now dangles from the park tree like a small flag of surrender. Elaine huddled deep in whispered conference with Iris near the gardens, the Town Hall clock and Kip's bakery clock began their eternal two-minute argument, and down at The Anchor, Iris found her voice telling stories to anyone who'd listen. By evening, the rain cleared to reveal a rainbow so perfectly framed it seemed almost rehearsed—and little Rue Callahan, the town's newest arrival, slept through it all, blissfully unaware that Seahaven Springs was holding its breath to welcome her.
