Day 2110
Day 2110 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The mackerel have moved on. Seahaven Springs will be eating fish for a week regardless. Sal Marino has decided the dartboard is at fault and said so publicly. Bram Tidewater and Hattie Whitlow have quietly become the sort of friends who notice things. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Key, and No Lock takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

15:00The community orchard is in blossom and briefly the best place in town.
17:00Business is slow enough that Bea Callahan has been sent home early. Nobody argues.
18:00The tide is out further than usual. Linus Tidewater has gone to look at what it left behind.
19:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
20:00The rain has driven everyone indoors, and the café is doing the best trade of the week.
20:15Truman Beaumont and Elaine Whitlow kept their word and finished what they started.
22:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.

22:08Wilf Tanner is telling the same story again, now with improved weather.
22:11Linus Tidewater offered to buy the room a drink, then checked a pocket.
