"Morning! The usual?" "Please. And maybe one of those chocolate croissants. They're calling my name." "Coming right up. Quiet morning, isn't it?" "Too quiet. I heard old Mrs. Harper's cat got into the mayor's garden again." "Oh dear. How are the prize-winning petunias?" "Let's just say, they won't be winning any prizes this year. But never mind that, have you heard about the new arrival?" "Do tell." "Some big-city detective moved into the old Miller place. Word is, he's here to retire." "Retire? Here? Doesn't seem like the type to enjoy our peaceful little town." "Well, maybe he's looking for a change of pace. Or maybe he's running from something." "Intriguing. Well, here's your coffee and croissant. Keep me posted on any more gossip." "Always do. Enjoy your breakfast."
