Day 1531
What a day in Seahaven Springs! The rain brought the town together at Marla's café, where puddles grew small and conversations grew warm, while a patient heron settled in at Miller's Pond as if it owned the place. By evening, the clouds had cleared to reveal a rainbow so perfect it seemed almost scripted—and perhaps it was, for on a day when nearly everyone in town was quietly keeping the same secret, the universe saw fit to paint the sky in every colour but the one needed to explain it all. As Friday night settles over The Anchor and Rex polishes his good glasses with the contentment of a man who keeps his promises, Seahaven Springs glows in that golden light that makes even ordinary moments feel like they're being watched—which, of course, they always are.
