Day 3681
Day 3681 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. The puddle outside the Sunrise Café has returned to its usual dimensions. Perry Gorse and Wren Gorse no longer need a reason to call round. Cole Whitlow is not currently speaking to Hattie Whitlow. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Visitor Is Expected runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
