Day 378
What a day in Seahaven Springs! Bev limped out of the sheriff's office with her dignity and a handshake, then promptly checked herself into Seahaven General with a twisted ankle—where she'd find kind words waiting from Rex, and where our dear Dot would clock out after decades of keeping everyone upright, cake in hand and a new life waiting. Truman, knocked sideways by an overzealous seagull, found himself in the very same ward, and the whole town conspired to feed him his favorite meals with love and no bill attached. Through the fog and the rain and the perfectly timed rainbow, Seahaven Springs hummed with the gentle business of being exactly itself: a place where forms get filed right the first time, ladders get borrowed and lost, and Sunday supper calls everyone home.
