Day 1800
Day 1800 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. A small commotion has been arranged on the far side of town. Truman Beaumont is already walking towards it. An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days. Whatever Hattie Whitlow and Bram Tidewater were circling, they have landed on it. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Talent Night at The Anchor reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
