The bell above the door jingled as the morning rush began. "Morning, Mrs. Thompson! The usual?" "Yes, dear. And don't forget the extra sprinkles today." "Of course not. How's Mr. Thompson doing?" "Oh, he's fine, just fine. Can't stop talking about the pie you made last week." "Glad to hear it. Oh, and here comes Officer Daniels. Morning, Officer!" "Morning, Lily. Any new gossip I should know about?" "Nothing much. Just the usual town chatter. Oh, and Mrs. Abernathy thinks she saw a ghost at the old mill." "That old tale again? You'd think she'd be used to it by now." "True, but you know how she is. Keeps things interesting, though." "That it does. Alright, I'll take two cinnamon rolls and a coffee." "Coming right up. Anything exciting happening at the station?" "Nothing out of the ordinary. Just the usual traffic violations and the occasional lost cat." "Sounds like a typical day in Maplewood. Here you go, Officer. Enjoy!" "Thanks, Lily. Have a good one, everyone." "You too, Officer Daniels. See you tomorrow, Mrs. Thompson!" "Looking forward to it, dear."
