The scent of cinnamon and burnt sugar hung heavy in the air, mingling with the chime of the bell as the door swung open. Flour dusted every surface, from the mahogany counters to the edges of the glass display cases. "Morning, Clara. The lemon tarts look divine today." "Thank you, Arthur. I used the zest from the garden." "Did you see anyone lurking by the back alley this morning?" "Lurking? I was far too busy with the sourdough." "A tall man in a grey coat. He didn't look like he was here for the croissants." "Maybe he's that new inspector from the city." "Or maybe he's the reason the Mayor's gold trophy vanished from the town hall." "Don't be absurd. Now, do you want a tart or are you just here to gossip?" "Both, please. And a large coffee. Black, like my suspicions." "You're a menace, Arthur." "I prefer the term 'observant citizen'." "Just take your pastry and go before you scare off the regulars." "I'll be watching the alley, Clara. Just in case."
