The Gargoyle At the Gates (2012)
“Tells the Truth Claire Canning was studying at her desk. She had a chemistry test the next day, and although chemistry wasn’t particularly hard for her, she found it dull studying so much. She kept peering out her bedroom window onto the street a bit too often.
That is how she saw her little brother in his red wool cap emerge from the park next door. She had been noticing him spending quite a lot of time in the park, day and night, which was odd, since as far as she could tell there really ...wasn’t anything of interest for a twelve-year-old boy in there. As he emerged through the gate, his hands were dug deep into his pockets, and his shoulders were hunched in a way that suggested tears and upset. She watched him cross the street and stand in front of the old store, Candles by Daye, hesitating. He seemed so unsure and small and vulnerable that Claire put down her pencil. Chemistry could wait.
Christopher needed a friend. He pushed open Cassandra’s shop door and breathed in the familiar scent of cinnamon and incense.MoreLess
