Day 1822
What a day in Seahaven Springs! Fern Gorse bounced back from the hospital as spry as ever, the orchard painted itself in blossoms, and the great dockside mystery finally solved itself—herring, not headlines. Meanwhile, the town's younger hearts found their rhythm: Opal and Cole stopped leaving their chances to fate, and somewhere between the umbrellas and the rain, ordinary affection bloomed as steadily as the spring. Even the heron at Miller's Pond seemed to approve, taking its time, refusing to be rushed—much like Seahaven Springs itself.
