Day 1697
Wednesday in Seahaven Springs unfolded like a postcard come to life—the fog rolled in just far enough to seem intentional, a rainbow painted the sky at precisely the right moment, and somewhere between the lowered tide and the traveling garden gnome's mysterious relocation, the whole town seemed to be in on some gentle secret. Bea Callahan walked free from the sheriff's office with her head held high and found Rex waiting at The Anchor to clear the air over quiet water, while Edie Gorse threw the party she'd been meaning to throw and then spent the evening explaining boats to anyone within earshot. As umbrellas bloomed across town in impeccable synchronization and half of Seahaven Springs claimed benches in the warming afternoon, the seagulls kept their larceny to sandwiches, the town cat slept undisturbed on the steps, and everything—everything—felt exactly as it should be.
