Day 2894
Day 2894 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Opal Ferris answered a question Truman Beaumont had not asked out loud. Edie Gorse is a delighted new parent. Ewan Callahan is a delighted new parent. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Great Seahaven Bake-Off Approaches runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
