Day 1580
What a day in Seahaven Springs! Fern Gorse walked out of the hospital with a spring in her step, and Iris Brody left the sheriff's office with her dignity intact—Hal's handshakes have a way of making even the sternest lessons feel like kindness. The town itself seemed to celebrate: bread perfume shut down the square, a rainbow posed for the cameras, and somewhere on the dock, someone played a harmonica that nobody claims to have heard. Even the umbrella by the café door is keeping its secrets. As the sun sets and Rex polishes his good glasses, Seahaven Springs settles into Friday night—where Dot and Kip sit unusually still, Fern thanks the furniture, and Truman's lighthouse postcard waits patiently on the Founders Park board for next year's promise.

Come in, come in! The kettle's on. Still can't believe you actually showed up at my door instead of me chasing you down at the hospital.

Marla, I'm thinking of having a small gathering at the park. Something with the younger folks — Ewan, Fern, maybe others. Nothing fussy.
