Sophie hurried back to the armory to change into her uniform, before heading to the hospital where the ambulance had taken Sergeant Baker. Before she left, she found her platoon sergeant.

“Sgt. Schott, I wanted to let you know that I’ll be at the hospital for the next couple of hours with Sergeant Baker and his family.”

“Did you check with Captain Jenkins?”

“No, and to tell you the truth, I’d just as soon avoid him for the time being.”

His eyebrows shot upward. “Anything you want to tell me about?”

“No!”

Realizing she’d sounded very abrupt, she looked at him with troubled eyes.

“It’s a long story and very confusing. Can we leave it at that?”

“Sure, Lieutenant. Say no more. I’ll run interference for you, ma’am!”

“Thanks, Sergeant. You don’t know how much this means to me.”

Feeling a little less alone in the world, she left for the hospital before she had the misfortune of running into Gage. She was very concerned about Sergeant Baker, but the visit to the hospital would also give her a good excuse to avoid Gage for most of the day.

The masquerade was getting old. She felt like she couldn’t let her guard down for a minute. But, when things had started happening with Sergeant Baker, her brain had kicked into autopilot. Her reactions had been natural, and she’d forgotten all about the pretense. If only she hadn’t taken off her glasses.

She had already decided to tell him truth, but she wanted the revelation to occur on her turf and in her own good time. And the last thing she wanted was an audience for the unveiling—certainly no big scene in front of the entire unit.

Once Gage figured out the deception, he was guaranteed to be angry, but she wasn’t sure exactly how he would react. Emotionally, she knew the inevitable confrontation would be hard on her. Her feelings for him were too new, and her heart too vulnerable.

The last thing she needed was to break down in tears in front of her men. She had worked long and hard to present a picture of strength, and competence. She would just have to stay out of sight until the day was over.
