Day 447
What a day in our little seaside corner of the world! Flo Tidewater bounced back from her time at the General with all the vigor of spring tides, the mystery of our town's secret gift-giver was solved to quiet gratitude, and Marla and Rex proved that sometimes the best promises are the ones you actually keep. But the evening brought a bit of storm—literally and figuratively—as Hal and Milo butted heads at The Anchor over matters of musical taste, leaving our good-hearted sheriff cooling his heels in his own holding cell, which he seems to have accepted with characteristic grace. The town will sleep well tonight, knowing that even in our occasional small scuffles, there's always someone ready to straighten things out by morning.
