The bell over the bakery door jingled, scattering crumbs of sugar onto the polished floor. Sunlight filtered through the lace curtains, painting amber patterns on the wooden tables where a half‑eaten scone waited beside a steaming mug of tea. A faint hum of the mixer blended with the distant murmur of Main Street. “Did you hear about the old Miller’s heirloom clock they found in the pantry?” the voice asked, low and curious. “It disappeared the night before the town fair—right when the bakery was closed for cleaning,” the reply came, a hint of concern threading through the words. “The back door was left ajar, and the only thing missing was the brass key that locks the pantry,” the first voice continued, eyes flicking toward the rack of fresh croissants. “Someone must have known the code. The lock’s not complicated, but you’d need the key or a precise feel for the tumbler,” the other answered, tapping a fingertip against a warm cinnamon roll. “A clue, perhaps, in the flour sack? I recall seeing a tiny silver pin tucked in there last week,” the first mused, leaning closer to the counter. “It’s worth a look. If we find the pin, we might just turn the tide on this little mystery,” the second said, a smile curling at the edge of the mouth.
