Unsettled Graves: A Crossroads of Kings Mill Novel (The Crossroads of Kings Mill Book 3) by Loni Lynne Page A

time she’d gone over was Friday afternoon. They’d all gone to the pool while it was relatively empty and grilled hot dogs and hamburgers at the community center patio afterwards.
    “Playing checkers and cards, mostly…at least Jared and Joshua have. Oh, and eating pizza.”
    “Really?” So Jared liked checkers. Maybe she’d be able to interest him in a game after work while Camden took Joshua to the pool. She was still trying to figure out their connection. Was Fate trying to put her together with her ghost? If so, nothing appeared to be happening. When she’d tried to talk to him with any form of interest, he only replied politely and moved on to see if the guys wanted to do something.
    “What? Would you rather have me get an Xbox and teach them how to play video games? Maybe take them to a movie?” Camden sneered.
    “No. I just…never mind.”
                  Tonya buried herself into the research she’d invested herself in to find some answers on her two subjects. She’d come across Joshua’s name in some historical data from The National Soldiers Orphans’ Homestead but nothing about dates or birth records, his parents, or who might have dropped him off.
                  “What are you working on? Your research paper for Dr. Moreland?”
                  Camden looked up from his notes. “No. I’ve actually decided to look further into the hardships of the Confederates under General Lee’s Northern Virginia command. I thought it might be an interesting subject, especially since I have actual reference material to work with.”
                  “Good call.” Tonya grinned.
                  “So you think it’s a better choice then what I had?”
                  “I just think it’s a more exciting choice than talking about the economic and political Reconstruction time frame.” She tried to see his notes. “Anything exciting so far?”
                  “I’m just detailing some of the battles around the area for now, leading up to Gettysburg. I didn’t realize being this close to all the northward movement during the summer of 1863, there were so many little skirmishes.”
                  “South Mountain was one of the biggest areas between Lee’s men and the Union forces of the Potomac. Since the range stretches from Northern Virginia all the way up to Southern Pennsylvania, it was one of the most important strategic points of territorial supremacy. Both sides had formed communication outposts along its various gaps and passes.”
                  Where Camden would’ve rolled his eyes at her once, today he truly appeared to be interested in what she had to say. She knew she could be overwhelming at times in her Historical prattling’s, even Tony used to change the subject on her, sometimes before she even got to talk. Most of her dates ended when she exhibited more knowledge on the subject than the guy she was dating.
                  They talked about going to some of the nearby areas over the next few days and maybe even taking Jared and Joshua with them. Jared might be able to give them first hand insight into what had gone on in certain places.
                  April stopped by when they were deep in conversation and documentation over Confederate movement in the last days of June 1863.
                  “Everything going okay?” April appeared troubled. The biting of her lip was usually a dead giveaway.
                 
                  “Better and better. What’s up?” Camden replied.
                  “Just heard from Dr. Moreland. He’s upping your time frame on your papers because he’s scheduled to be working on a new excavation site in the North Dakota Badlands in August and wants you all to have your papers in to him by the week of July twelfth so he can make his final decision before heading out
