Day 918
Day 918 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Word has gone round the kitchens: Truman Beaumont is to be given his favourite, and no bill. The puddle outside the Sunrise Café has returned to its usual dimensions. Cole Whitlow was born to Elaine Whitlow and Marla Finch. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Talent Night at The Anchor runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
