Day 5377
Day 5377 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Cole Whitlow and Mabel Tidewater have got into the habit of each other. The tide is out further than usual. Elaine Whitlow has gone to look at what it left behind. Both routes are declared excellent. Everyone returns to the way they always went. 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.
