Day 1701
Day 1701 brought Seahaven Springs the kind of weather that makes a town feel like it's in a snow globe—fog, rain, a rainbow so perfect it looked edited—and through it all, the residents moved about their small dramas with their usual grace. Young Toby Tanner's ankle mishap sent them to Seahaven General for a spell, where Dot Ferris was waiting with her unflappable care, and at The Salty Gull tonight, the town gathered for Sunday supper as they always do, trading stories and warm bread. Somewhere down by the dock, someone was playing harmonica in the gathering dusk—though everyone swears they heard nothing at all. Tomorrow the fog may lift, or it may stay; either way, Seahaven Springs will be waiting, umbrella in hand, ready for whatever small wonder comes next.
