Day 5637

Day 5637 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days. Bram Tidewater and Hattie Whitlow have got into the habit of each other. Ike Tidewater and Sal Marino have stopped leaving their friendship to chance. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. What Our Song Actually Is reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
