Day 4708
Day 4708 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Jonah Ferris and Ned Ferris have quietly become the sort of friends who notice things. A hedge has been trimmed one inch past a boundary. Diplomacy is under way. Bev Tanner has stopped wondering about it, which is not quite the same as knowing. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Visitor Is Expected reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
