Day 1699
What a day it was in Seahaven Springs! The weather played its usual tricks—rain and rainbows trading places like old friends, while down at The Anchor, things got a touch rowdier when Bea Callahan and Marla Finch's fish stories reached their natural conclusion in a very gentle disagreement (resolved, of course, with no hard feelings and two cups of coffee). Meanwhile, the practical citizens busied themselves with the important business of town life: hedge diplomacy, clock arbitration, and preparing for Talent Night, as if nothing had happened at all. By evening, the light over our little seaside town turned almost unreasonably beautiful, and Seahaven Springs settled into that warm, slightly chaotic peace that only comes when a Friday night is young and the people you love are close by—even if they're not quite speaking to each other just yet.
