Day 5160
Day 5160 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Bea Callahan and Linus Tidewater no longer need a reason to call round. Marla Finch's small gathering has come together, with just enough chairs and no speeches. Alma Callahan and Marla Finch have got into the habit of each other. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Everybody, Slightly Left takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
