So was the fifties style gold vinyl belt. The one Casey had admired.Had she stolen them? Amanda and Casey had spent all day painting the walls for next Saturday’s opening. The only other person who’d been near her stock was Russ, and these items weren’t exactly his style. Amanda already felt deeply for the teen and knew kids could make stupid mistakes when they were troubled with feelings they couldn’t handle. But still, if Casey had taken them, how far could Amanda trust her?She ran a hand through her hair, mulling over the best way to deal with this. Part of the girl’s job would be handling cash sales when Past Perfect opened next week. Would she steal from the store’s cash box? Amanda decided to ask Russ about it tonight. He knew Casey and her family. Maybe he’d act as a go between.Amanda headed back to her cottage a few blocks from Peconic Bay. A light snow began to fall, but she still made her usual trek down to the bay and walked along the water. Truth was, Amanda loved walking in a snowfall.
