Saturday Spring 20.

It's another rainy day in Stardew Valley. I just got done planting some seeds, getting more soaked every minute I'm out there. I quickly go to take a shower and change my clothes. I pat Shiloh on the head as I walk past him.

I plan on going to town to have lunch at the saloon and then going fishing at the beach. I get dressed into a black skirt and a long sleeve light blue shirt. I slip on my black sneakers and grab an umbrella. "Be back soon Shiloh. I'll bring you some treats back." I kiss Shiloh on the top of the head. I grab my fishing pole and head into town.

Once I get to the saloon, I set my fishing pole by the door and walk up the bar, sitting on a stool. "Good afternoon Gus." I say with a smile. "Well, hello there. Whatcha want?" He asked with a smile. "One of those burgers of yours would hit the spot. And uhh.." I look over at Shane who stands in the corner alone, as usual. "And a pizza and beer for the birthday boy." I say and Gus smiles. "Coming right up."

I sit and talk to Harvey who sits next to me, eating lunch as well. "Here is that beer for you and your pizza." I hear Gus say and I look up to see him giving it to Shane. "I didn't order this." He says. Gus just looks over at me and I smile. "Happy birthday." I say. "You remembered my birthday? I'm impressed. Thanks." Shane smiles a little. I just nod my head with another smile, turning back to Harvey.

"So, you seem close with Sebastian?" Harvey asked and I nod. "I'd like to think so. What's up?" "Do you know if Maru is interested in anyone?" He asked and I shake my head. "I know nothing about Maru. Her and Sebastian aren't really close so I have no idea." Harvey sighs.

I feel bad for the guy. He is probably cooped up in the clinic with her everyday so I assume he would catch some feelings. No wonder why Sam and Abigail are dating. Allegedly.

"But, since I am over there a lot, I can definitely find out for you." His face lights up. "Could you please?" I nod as Gus brings me my burger. "You are the best." Harvey says. We continue our conversation as we eat our lunches.

"See you tomorrow Gus." I wave to him as I lift my umbrella into the air, grabbing my fishing pole as I leave. I walk down to the beach in silence. Crossing the bridge, I say hello to Elliot who is passing me. "Hello Eva. Are you well?" He asked in his poetic voice. I smile and nod. "As good as ever! How are you Elliot?" I asked and he smiles. "Getting better everyday." He says. We continue to walk past each other.

I walk onto the beach, picking up all the seashells and stuff to sell. As I make my way to the dock. I see a tall figure standing at the edge. Black hoodie and black jeans. Of course on a rainy day he would be standing on the dock. I walk up to him and he looks over, noticing me. A smirk appears on his face.

"You know, the ocean is best enjoyed alone... don't ya think?" Sebastian says and I laugh a little. "Well excuse me for wanting to say hi." I say and he smiles. "You are getting soaked Seb." I say, shoving my umbrella in his hands. "What are you doing out here?" He asked. I step aside and throw my bob in the ocean. "Fishing. You?" I asked.

Sebastian shrugs. "I'm always in the house. I only come here when it is raining. For some reason, staring off into the bleak horizon makes me feel... I don't know. Like it's worthwhile to keep pushing on, I guess." I nod my head understanding. "Tall, pale, and mysterious. Trifecta my friend." He laughs a little. "No I get it. That "keep pushing on" feeling is different with everyone. Mine is hanging out with you guys." I say, reeling in the small fish. Sebastian smiles a little.
