Christmas Homecoming by L.A. Witt
4.0
A very emotive short story
Not only are Jack and Roger just discovering their life long friendship has moved to more in a time when men being with each other is not accepted, WW2 then means that their separation is much longer.
Both Jack and Roger have found kindred souls for short periods whilst posted away and the fragility and furtiveness of these trysts do come across.
Most of the story happens once war is over and the men meet again - and still the matchmaking mothers continue! Gah, they annoyed me and I’m not there - different times.
Despite getting together they still feel they have to be apart which is heartbreaking - though once they realise they could be roommates I did find their realisation of the two old men amusing!
Lovely addition in the series.
