Settling in as deep as she could into Amelia’s oversized recliner, Yvette sipped her tea. “I don’t even know which way to turn,” she confessed.

“I’m so sorry this is happening,” Amelia said, brushing her blonde hair from her eyes.

“I can’t believe that there are actually people out there in the world that think of me as a killer.”

“I mean, if the police don’t think you are, does it even matter?” Amelia pointed out.

“It might. What if they don’t have any suspects either? Maybe I’ll end up being one to them, not only to the locals in Townsend.”

Amelia poured herself a cup of tea and sat across from Yvette. “Talk to me about it. Work out what’s going on in your head and maybe that will help. It seems like when you have the chance to say things out loud, it always makes things better.”

Yvette let out a long breath. “That’s the problem. I don’t know what’s going on in my head. Everything that happened with Gina was odd, Max and apparently several other people think that me being in the area after the two murders in Heritage happened, makes me a prime suspect for this one.”

“Oh! I meant to tell you that I finally figured out why that Gina woman’s name sounded so familiar. She was on that television show Bakery Wars. I was sad when she didn’t win, she was so creative.”

“Yeah, that’s her. She was on last year I think. She is very good at her job, I won’t take that away from her. Not sure why she’s only making waffle cones and whipped cream when she has talent like that though. No matter how much I love my job, I enjoy seeing people achieve their dreams. Anyway, I don’t know a darn thing and that’s more frustrating than anything else. I’m so unfamiliar with Townsend that I can’t make heads or tails of anything.

“Do you need to? The shop is open, and you only have a few days left there. Unless the police need you for something, do you think it might be better if you just go to work and come home then be done with it all? It has to be tough knowing people think badly of you, but you can’t let that dampen everything. Emma wanted you to do a job and that’s all you should be worrying about.”

Yvette supposed that her friend was right. She’d been so caught up in Damien’s death and why Max had been avoiding her that she hadn’t done any more investigating about what was going on at the shop. While it was clear that the Pop-Up was hurting their business, there had to be more to it than that. Sundae Afternoon had always been her number one priority and Yvette wasn’t going to let that change now. The first thing she needed to do was look more closely into why the other restaurant had been borrowing from them so often. She knew she wouldn’t be able to ask Henry directly yet but maybe there was a way to get one of his employees to explain.
