Day 5484
Day 5484 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The Town Hall clock and the bakery clock disagree by two minutes. Both are certain. Cole Whitlow and Nell Tidewater have quietly become the sort of friends who notice things. There were not enough plates at Silas Tidewater's, and nobody minded. 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.
