Day 3529
Day 3529 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Word has gone round the kitchens: Truman Beaumont is to be given his favourite, and no bill. Ned Ferris and Kip Doyle have quietly become the sort of friends who notice things. Cass Tanner was born to Bev Tanner and Milo Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Book Nobody Finished reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
