Day 1761
What a day in Seahaven Springs! The sun broke through, the orchard bloomed, the rain came and went with a rainbow that seemed almost too perfect, and somewhere between the umbrellas and the clearing skies, Truman wandered into Elaine's garden seeking answers about wanderlust—a question that lingered like that mysterious bench tally nobody quite understands. Meanwhile, Dot forgot her shopping list (again), Rex found himself confessing over a glass of water at The Salty Gull, and somewhere down at the dock, a seagull won a staring contest against Bram Tidewater without breaking a wing. By evening, half the town had settled into chairs in the warm air, new friendships were being sworn to with suspicious speed, and The Anchor had gained a chair—though Rex hasn't said a word about it. Tomorrow, someone will notice, and by tomorrow evening, everyone will have a theory.
