Day 5537
Day 5537 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Marla Finch and Elaine Whitlow have quietly become the sort of friends who notice things. The morning mail has arrived. Truman Beaumont received a mysterious postcard. One small Seahaven question is settled, and Milo Ferris is already eyeing another. 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.
