Day 5435
Day 5435 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. It's official: Fern Gorse and Jonah Ferris are a couple. The café has opinions. The traveling garden gnome has been spotted on a new porch. Nobody admits to moving it. The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly. 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.
