“You could blow them out of the water with a very intense, personal approach to the battles. What the participants thought, felt, believed, desired. It would be awesome.”

Ellen forced a smile. She didn’t have the heart to point out that what Kate was suggesting simply wasn’t possible, on so many levels, not the least of which was she’d be expected to return every cent she’d already spent if she submitted a manuscript anything like the one Kate envisioned. Her publisher was expecting a book based upon her proposal. Anything else would be unthinkable.

However, she warmed to Kate’s passion, thrilled to see her finally take an interest in something. Ellen’s research might pull Kate out of the depression, moodiness, anger, and self-pity she’d been lost in for weeks. She couldn’t remember Kate talking so animatedly before, and Kate’s lingering grip on her wrist was causing a fluttering sensation in her chest.

Ellen relented halfheartedly. “Well…I’ll think about it.” Kate beamed. “Excellent. This is going to be great.” When she removed her hand from Ellen’s wrist and picked up her coffee cup, Ellen instantly felt the loss. With her other hand, she rubbed the tingling spot Kate had left behind. She warmed to Kate’s enthusiasm and rationalized that once they were mired in the research, Kate would forget about her proposed change. The details and the sheer amount of data often bogged her down, so they would most certainly overwhelm Kate. She would let it go for now, but she had to be careful not to dampen Kate’s interest.

“What’s next?” Kate asked when they had finished eating.

“On to Richmond.” Ellen chuckled at her private joke.

“What’s so funny?”

“Oh, nothing, really. ‘On to Richmond’ was a phrase the North espoused from the early stages of the war—Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy, being the ultimate goal.”

Kate looked at her blankly. “And you think that’s funny?” Ellen shrugged sheepishly.
