"Candy that tricks the eye?" Really? Really?
But to disapprove would draw suspicion, so Sam merely pushed the antagonism back in the corner of his mind, scoping out whether there were any candy stores around. Did...did she know? She had to, this little quest hit way too close to home for comfort. Just the fact that somebody besides himself knew about his secret really set him on edge, and when he finally locates the candy shop, he even glances over his shoulder, just to make sure nobody is following him.
And then he has to do a doubletake when he sees Gabriel lounging behind the counter, because hey, he remembers this guy.
"OH!" Sam exclaims, blinking in surprise. "I...I didn't know you owned a candy store."
