Day 4585
Day 4585 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Cass Tanner has received a postcard from somewhere far away. The handwriting is unfamiliar. One small Seahaven question is settled, and Jonah Ferris is already eyeing another. Bram Tidewater has finally had everyone round. Nobody left early. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
