A Different Kind of Visitor
The soft chime of the front door’s bell rang again, signaling the arrival of another customer. Melissa didn’t even glance up this time, assuming it was just another person coming to browse. She was still caught up in her thoughts, swirling with dreams of what this ring might be worth and what she’d do with the money.
But this wasn’t just another customer. The man who entered wasn’t dressed in casual clothes or looking for jewelry. He wore a dark uniform, a badge on his chest, and a serious expression. A police officer had just stepped into the shop—and Melissa hadn’t seen him yet. What she thought was a routine sale was about to become something far more serious than she ever expected.
