Summary
There was a version of this story that ended with George returning to something better than he had left. That was called optimism, which was a damn stupid thing to bring with you into a foxhole.

Summary
The letter is almost unreadable, by the time Babe turns off of the interstate and into Baton Rouge. He ghosts a featherlight fingertip over the writing even now, long after the lead has been wiped away. He still remembers the word that had been there, feels it against his skin like he's a blind man reading braille. Cancer, it reads. Somewhere further down, another groove will spell out, low on time, first, then, nothing they can do. It's so cliche it makes Babe want to throw up.
----
Or, the one in which Gene and Babe survive the war, go back to their homes, and try to lead their own separate lives--until Gene gets sick, Babe gets a letter, and it all comes crashing down.

Summary
The thing is, Babe Heffron spends more quality time with Gene Roe once the medic dies than he ever did when the guy was alive. Life’s funny that way, he supposes.
OR: Gene dies in Bastogne and haunts Babe for the rest of the war.

Summary
Joe lets his eyes rake over Webster's face, whose eyes are distant and features striking in lamplit profile. His hair is a little overgrown, his hands large and scuffed where they bring the bottle up to his lips, his jaw sharp where it connects with—
"Holy shit," Joe mutters, leaning in before his half-drunk brain can warn him that this might not be a good idea. "Are your fuckin' ears pierced, Web?"
----
Or, what do you get when you combine German liquor, the giddy final days of war, and a couple of soldiers who have had just about enough of dancing around each other? If you're Joe Liebgott, the answer is an amateur piercing done by a Harvard dropout, of course.

Summary
Eddie finally makes it home from the war. Honourably discharged after the wounds he suffered on Peleliu, he's left with the realisation that he has nothing. No family to return to, no job, and no friends. The United States Marine Corps took the life he offered, but left him still breathing. All he knows for certain is the rumble of his pickup and the long drive ahead of him – towards Lawrence, Massachusetts. That’s where his captain hailed from. He can still remember Andy telling him so, on a quiet night alone together.
Eddie doesn’t know if he’ll find rejection from a man who’s moved on, or a grieving family over a fresh gravestone. He won't bet on a third option.

Summary
It’s not so much the idea that Babe should start a kissing marathon as it is the idea that he can’t.
“I hate you all,” Babe announces. “And I could totally get anyone to kiss me if I wanted to. I could kiss everyone in this room.”
Bill points a thumb at himself, and Babe is forced to quickly revise his earlier statement. “‘Cept you. My lips would fall off if they went anywhere near you.”
