Alone, her thoughts tumbled like mismatched jigsaw pieces that refused to click into place.

Hyacinth might’ve hidden Burt’s shovel just to make a point. And she hadn’t exactly whispered her doubts about his character—or his whereabouts the morning Denny Graves died.

Burt claimed he kept to himself. Claimed he didn’t remember much. But Ivy had seen the way he looked away.

Then there was Rory. Fit, charming, and suddenly tight-lipped the moment she asked about his awkward encounter with the victim. But there’s a long distance between a gray gym hoodie and a dark trench coat.

Someone had killed Denny Graves.

Someone had left a pit bull puppy to die in the alley with him.

And now, someone had been in her garden leaving a high-end glove like some inverse Cinderella.

Monty let out a low whuff beside her, nose twitching at the wind.

Ivy scanned the shed, the compost bin, the far edge of the fence where shadows pooled.

Was it random? Just a trespasser, a fluke, a single loose thread?

Or was it something else entirely?

She looked down at the glove still in her hand, the stitches too neat, the leather too clean.

“What if it’s all connected?” she murmured.

Monty pressed closer to her leg, ears high.

A crow cawed once from the rooftops, slicing through the hush like a warning.

Ivy flinched.

She stood there a moment longer, breath misting in the cool air, the silence pressing in like a question with too many answers.
