       Before …

       Mellanby, North Yorkshire

      Lana read Dickie’s letter for the umpteenth time. It was dated 23rd August 1941.

       My darling dearest girl,

       I hated leaving you for yet another tour but I’ll be home before you know it. I can’t wait to see your lovely face again, to bury myself in that wonderful hair of yours, but all I have at the moment is your photograph. I’m gazing at it now as I write this.

       I miss you so much, Lana. When I get my next shore leave we’ll go on long walks, hand in hand.

       Keep safe for me, darling. I long to hold you in my arms again. I love knowing my grandmother’s ring is nestling between your breasts, but it’s hidden, and I want to put it on your finger to let the whole world know we’re engaged to be married – the sooner the better. I know you prefer to wait so we can tell your parents together, but it’s so frustrating with this damned war.

       Give my love to them, and if you get time, I know mine would love you to call in at number 10. You’re always welcome – you know that. СКАЧАТЬ
