Chapter Twelve

At 4:30 a.m., I woke up, went through my morning routine, then loaded up the coffeemaker in the kitchen and left a few scones wrapped for Nate.

Getting Biga into the crate was hard. He didn’t want to give up his comfy spot next to Nate. When Biga realized I was serious about leaving, he finally jumped off the sofa and crawled into the crate.

I drove down Sunnyside since I’d gotten into the habit this week. There were no lights on at Eddie’s. I didn’t see any cars on that stretch of the street. Brad’s truck wasn’t on the street doing surveillance. It was cold this morning, and there was a bite in the air.

Beck came through the back door of the bakery at 6:30 a.m., pink-cheeked from the cold and eager to bake.

“Can I put on the Irish pop? I’m so into it now. I can’t get the songs out of my head.”

“Go ahead, Beck.” Beck was obsessed by a soft pop song by the Irish band, The Blizzards. She knew all the words. So we heard the song a lot.

“I’ve got three batches of cinnamon roll dough ready to fill and roll up. After that, I can fill the frittata shells for you so you can get the beignets going.”

“Thanks, Gracie. I think people are going to want warm things this morning.”

“And the dining area will be packed.”

Before we opened, when I had a moment’s break, I picked up my phone and texted Elana to see if she’d be up for meeting at The Riverside tonight. Nate’s words last night had stuck with me. I had more sympathy for Kirk, yet I also knew his time was running out. He had to meet with the Chief.

During our mid-morning lull, I checked my phone to find two messages.

Thanks for the coffee and scones. ❤️❤️❤️
