Day 5878
Day 5878 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Hattie Whitlow is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Edie Gorse and Wren Gorse no longer need a reason to call round. Bea Callahan and Linus Tidewater no longer need a reason to call round. 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.
