The scent of freshly baked goods filled the air as the bell above the door rang out, signaling a new customer in the Sweet Delight bakery. Amelia wiped her flour-dusted hands on her apron and met the customer with a cheery smile. "Oh, hello darling! What can I get for you today?" "I'll have a slice of your famous apple pie, please." "Coming right up! That'll be $4.50. So, how are things in Mayfield this lovely morning?" "Oh, you know, theusual gossip and rumors floating around. It's always something in this town, isn't it?" "Well, that's a fact. Though I do hear the police found that missing book from the library... in the dumpster behind your husband's restaurant." "Is that so?iyiinteresting. I bet he's just thrilled about that." "Thrilled? I hear he's been going on and on to the chief, insisting he had nothing to do with it. I'm sure he's telling the truth." "Then why was his dirty work shirt found smashed in the reset of the trashbin with that book on top of it?" "That must be some crazy coincidence! Jeff would never do something so... dishonest. He's always been an honest, hard-working businessman here in our community."
