What had the thief been looking for?
Nobody would try to lift a collection of Precious Moments figurines to sell on the black market.
_Is there_ a Precious Moments black market?
My insane speculation was cut short by the sound of another door opening down the hallway.

Scrivener doesn't know how to spell "gauge." That's one of those words (like "sleuth") that I often have to type twice before I get it right, but Scrivener puts a red line under it, regardless. Is it just me, or is Scrivener's spell-check function useless? I have to export to a Word doc to check it.

Nick embraced her, saying, "Did I mention how lovely you look today?" Laura seemed to enjoy the compliment, but I noticed that she didn’t counter with one of her own. What was she supposed to say? That Hawaiian shirt looks like it would hide stains well?
