The bell above the door chimed, letting in a gust of crisp autumn air before snapping shut. Inside, the warm scent of cinnamon and toasted pecans hung heavy. A tray of blueberry muffins sat cooling on the glass display counter, next to a half-empty coffee pot. "Did you hear about the mayor's missing pocket watch?" "I heard it vanished right during the Founders' Day banquet. Right out of his vest pocket, too." "Well, he shouldn't have left it unattended on that punch table. Everyone knows Mildred's cat gets into everything." "You really think a cat stole a gold pocket watch?" "I think a cat knocks things off tables. And I saw Arthur pacing near that table all night. He looked nervous, kept glancing at the door." "Arthur is always nervous. He accidentally double-salted the pretzels yesterday." "Just saying. If that watch doesn't turn up, the festival is ruined. The mayor threatens to cancel the parade every year, but this time he looked mean." "He won't cancel it. Too much tourism money. Want a bear claw? They just came out of the oven." "With extra icing, please."
