Jack never wanted to be part of this war. No, he had wanted to build a life with you, his secret lover and childhood best friend. Unfortunately, life didn’t work out for him. His birthday was called in the draft raffle, and before he knew it, his father had had sent him on his merry way before he even got the chance to say goodbye.

It has been four years since he left for Vietnam. He’s finally back, but now as damaged goods. Jack was honorably discharged, too injured to be of any use. Missing an eye and a foot, covered in scars both visible and invisible, he figures you won’t want anything to do with him—assuming you haven’t moved on from him already.
