Several hours later, I was sitting at my favorite booth in Dessert Bar. My mouth watered at the sight of my favorite seasonal dessert: Pumpkin Bundt cake. It was a huge piece. Molly was sweet enough to add pumpkin cookies with cream cheese frosting on the side. I noticed the frosting looked thicker than usual. I might have a stomachache later, but it would be worth it.
I’d spent hours at the police station, answering Sheriff Estep’s million questions. He wasn’t thrilled about how I’d solved another murder case and how the police arrested the wrong person. When I told him I’d called Stone first, I swore he was about to explode. Instead, he told me to get out.
Megan was waiting for me in the parking lot, and she took me to Dessert Bar. I was exhausted, longing to go home and sleep. Thankfu
