They returned from Astarte’s softball game Saturday afternoon, Amanda observing as Cam light-heartedly teased the girl on the car ride home about being so focused on cheering on her teammates that she went up to bat … without her bat.

“But I got a good hit,” Astarte countered.

“Yeah, but only after you had to run back to the dugout.”

She smiled. “I was just trying to distract the pitcher.”

Could she in good conscience separate them, Amanda wondered?

They had accepted an invitation from Randall Sid to attend a ceremony at the Bunker Hill Monument later in the afternoon. Amanda was not sure she wanted to attend. She and Cam had not been out as a couple in the eight days since the photo bomb arrived. And she didn’t particularly like Randall Sid. On the other hand, she knew the Masons were the moving force behind the monument’s erection, and its design as an obelisk obviously tied back to their research on Masonic connections to ancient Egypt.

As if reading her thoughts, Cam touched her on the arm as Astarte ran into the house. “I hope you’re still planning to come to the Bunker Hill thing with me.”

“Honestly, I’m not sure.”

He bit his lip. “It’s research, not a date.” And then his smile. The smile she thought would brighten the rest of her life. “I promise not to be the least bit charming.”

She turned her head and blinked away a tear. “All right then.”

Cam nodded toward the street. “There’s the unmarked cruiser. He’s was circling the neighborhood this morning also.”

“Good.”

An hour later Cam dropped Astarte off at a friend’s house and returned to pick up Amanda. She had changed into a long skirt and blouse and slid into the SUV next to Cam for the forty-minute drive to Boston. “You look nice,” Cam said.

“What happened to not the least bit charming?”

“Right. Sorry.” He paused. “You’re wearing that?”

She smiled sadly. Either he had cheated on her, in which case she could never forgive him, or he was totally innocent, in which case she might never forgive herself for doubting him. A classic lose-lose. She pushed the thought away. “So what kind of event is this?”

“It’s a commemoration for the Battle of Bunker Hill, specifically General Joseph Warren. He was a doctor and also the Masonic Grand Master at the time. He died in the battle.”

“I thought the battle was in June, not May.”

Cam nodded. “June 17. But the Masonic calendar year starts June 24, and they have meetings and conferences that whole week. And they like to do something private. So they have a ceremony in late May every year.”

“And Randall Sid invited you?”

“He said there’s something he wants to show me from the top of the monument.”

She turned. “He’s going to climb it?”

“Apparently he does every year. He’s a tough old bird.”

“Then I’m glad I wore comfortable shoes.”

Cam parked on a side street in Charlestown on the northern edge of Boston. They walked up a slope—Breed’s Hill, not Bunker Hill, as the former was the actual site of the misnamed battle—toward the monument.
