I hope you forgive me the comment upon your last one, implying that that one was not your best,
I myself are an anachronism, a 91 year old computer consultant.
I've been there in the 40ties and of cause also the 50ties.
Great story except that the Lindy Hop is a 20's dance that evolved after Charles Lindbergh flew non-stop from New York to Paris in 1927. I think that cloche hats also date from the '20s and the flappers.
I don't believe that this belongs in "Mature". 19 and 33 do NOT a "May-December" couple make. More like "May-July". MAYBE. I think that it would fit into "Romance" quite nicely.
Oh, and I enjoyed it, although it dragged a bit towards the end.
One of our greatest pleasures is dressing in vintage clothes and motoring in our vintage grand touring "work of art" with others of a like mind enjoying many of the finer things from a past when manners, graciousness, craftsmanship and especially individuality meant something!
Even though I was born in the 50's - late 60's and early 70's album rock were the soundtrack of young adulthood - I've found myself enjoying the music and movies of the 30's and 40's.
Your story was a well-done invocation of people holding onto the romantic side of what that culture represented and finding commitment and happiness together.

Minor anachronisms
Great story except that the Lindy Hop is a 20's dance that evolved after Charles Lindbergh flew non-stop from New York to Paris in 1927. I think that cloche hats also date from the '20s and the flappers.
the ironic thing
The store wouldn't be in the red if they had a good website.
The universe runs on irony.
Misfiled, perhaps?

Thanks for sharing it with us!

I enjoyed this very much.
