This started as a little one-shot that I did as a writing exercise, which I absolutely loved. Now I'm giving them backstory, so be prepared for some angst! Sam Lawrence and Eugene McGee met at Jo's club. This is a tale of love in the 1930s, secret mob dealings, music, bartending and creativity. But those years don't last forever; happiness is finite. Because this is a War Story... and everything is about to end. Trigger warnings can be found at the beginning of each part.
