Day 538

Day 538 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Somebody has been asked to need Truman Beaumont's help with something small and absorbing. Bev Tanner is not currently speaking to June Ellery. Dot Ferris lost Dr. Cornelius Pratt after a long life together. 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.
