The day had been ...
... fruitful.
Why?
Each sentence contains as many names of fruit as indicated by the number in parentheses. The fruit are included phonetically, so the spelling in the sentence may differ:

It turns out the girl he dated had taken his possessions, leaving only cheese in the fridge.
