“Drew?” Ryder called over. He must have looked over from the table and seen the alarm on my face, because soon he was standing beside me. “Long time no see!”

“Ryder, I didn’t know you were dating the peacekeeper!” Drew replied. After Ryder had said his name, I put two and two together and realized that this must be Wyatt’s neighbor, the man that he was warring with over the placement of an old hedgerow.

“Why does everyone think we’re dating?” I mumbled.

“I’m her guardian, it’s not a long story, but a bit of a weird one,” Ryder offered. “What brings you out to the café today? You’re not normally here for lunch.”

“Retirement can send you strange, you young people don’t know how good you’ve got it! I went from a set schedule at work, to no schedule, to a boring schedule, so now I’m mixing it up. Instead of coming here for breakfast twice a week, I’ve come here for lunch. You should have seen Jerry’s face when I walked in here,” Drew laughed. “He couldn’t believe his eyes.”

“You’ve always been an adrenaline junkie,” Ryder teased.

“Ha!” Drew barked. “You’ve got a good one here, Sadie. A real keeper. You can tell a lot about a man by how he treats old folk like me, this one here is solid gold,” he smiled, jabbing Ryder playfully in the chest with a bony finger. “Anyway, I was just saying that I think Wyatt pushed Cindy Saco off a cliff. Did you want the vanilla creamer? I just realized I’m hogging the container.”

“What?” I said, furrowing my brow as I tried to unpick the words. He raised his right hand and wiggled the creamer at me to prove his point. “Oh, I was just here for sugar.”

“I heard sugar ages the skin faster than anything, did you know that?” Drew smirked. “I don’t believe that for a second, I mean, I think I look great for thirty!” He barely got his own joke out before he started laughing and Ryder politely smiled back, though he was clearly eager to hear more details about the murder that Drew was trying to tell us about.

“What were you saying about Cindy?” Ryder pressed.

“Oh, not here,” Drew said, lowering his voice and leaning in conspiratorially. “Finish your food and then head back to my place. I can show you the footage I got on my camera system, and you can see for yourself that Wyatt Adams is a mad man that should be locked up!”

“You have cameras?” I asked.

“Who wouldn’t at this point? That man has been screaming at me about hedges for months and I can’t even remember who started it at this point. I have a gorgeous view of the ocean, but he said if I don’t, and I quote, ‘knock it off’, he will build a ten-foot fence on his side of the hedge and block my view. He’s lucky I haven’t socked him in the teeth!”

“He said you punched him, he had a split lip,” I replied.
