The morning light spilled through lace curtains over the display case on Elm Street, turning sugar dust to gold. The smell of butter and vanilla hung thick, and a chalkboard announced blueberry crumble as the weekend special. A ceiling fan turned lazily above wobbly farmhouse tables. Jars of jam lined the windowsill, and crumbs whispered of hurried breakfasts. "You're late. The good loaf is already gone." "Traffic behind Miller's farm. A sheriff's car blocked the whole road." "Again? That's the third time this week. Something odd is going on out there." "Tell me about it. Martha swears she saw lights in the old mill last night." "Oh, she swears she sees Elvis at the laundromat, too." "Laugh all you want, but my blueberry supplier never showed up this morning." "Not old Tom? He hasn't missed a delivery in twenty years." "Exactly. And his crate was sitting by my back door, full and cold, with no note." "Well, that's not cozy at all. That's downright creepy." "Keep your voice down. Take a scone on the house and pretend you heard nothing." "Pretend? Honey, I came for gossip and carbs. You just gave me both."
