Day 196
What a day in Seahaven Springs! Sal returned home from the hospital to a town that had missed him terribly, the orchard bloomed so prettily that half the residents simply sat outside to admire it, and Kip's troublesome back sent them to Dr. Pratt's care—though the good doctor was no doubt delighted to have a patient who needed more than tea and reassurance. The ladders keep moving from porch to porch like migratory birds, the seagulls remain undefeated in their sandwich heists, and that mysterious front door has the whole town debating whether it's a bold new chapter or a dreadful mistake. By evening, Sunday supper was calling, and Seahaven Springs—warm, blossom-soft, and full of the kind of small mysteries that make a town feel like home—settled in for the night.
