While Connor and Laura enjoyed their lunch and a brief thirty minutes together, café owner Marie Vandergard noticed a man across the street in front of Second Treasures. She knew him well and watched as he peered inside the front window, shielding both eyes with cupped hands.

Did he think that Laura was hiding in there with the Closed sign turned outward and the door locked? No, this man was spending far too long staring into the shop. Why?

Vandergard glanced over at Connor and Laura enjoying their lunch. Those two deserved a few minutes like this. She wouldn’t bother them with what she’d seen.

Only now it grew more interesting. For Dr. Colin Anderson turned around and looked toward the café across the street. He seemed to be staring right at Connor and Laura at the table in the front window.

Vandergard knew it was possible to make out faces from across the narrow street. She glanced at the angle of the sun. Yes, it was the right time of day for that. But she couldn’t figure out the look she saw on Anderson’s face while he stared at the couple.

She didn’t like Anderson, didn’t trust him. She hadn’t liked his parents, either. Cold, distant people. Colin seemed different than they had been, but was he? He was still pretty arrogant and full of himself, she thought. Something just didn’t sit right with her, and she watched as he slowly turned toward his car, parked in front of the shop. As he opened the door and got in, he shot another glance at the couple in the window, and then drove off in the direction of his clinic.

Vandergard went back to her customers. She hadn’t noticed the cat in the front window of Laura’s shop. The empress was watching Anderson and now his car, her tail sweeping grandly back and forth, back and forth, and then turned to look at Connor and Laura.

The cat hopped out of the store window, into the dark interior, and vanished just as the snow began to fall from the sky, starting first in tiny, dry, innocent flakes before it got serious.
