In "He Wouldn't Return," Alice fears her boyfriend David has changed after his military service, but discovers his apparent coldness stems from his sense of duty to his brother Johnny, whose memory haunts them both. The couple ultimately reconciles, with David proposing to Alice in Australia. In the second story, a young woman named Virginia falls for a soldier named Ken, who invites her to a dance where he teaches her the missing waltz. Virginia later discovers Ken is actually in love with another woman named Audrey, but Ken confesses his true feelings are for Virginia, having only used the dance as a way to get close to her, leading to their romantic reunion.
When a young woman at sixteen promises to marry Johnny Pierce before he ships out with the Army, it seems like a romantic gesture in a moment of wartime emotion—but two years of sparse letters have left her with only vague memories of him. Then Johnny's older brother David comes home from service, and Alice finds herself drawn to him in a way that makes her promise feel like a terrible mistake. As Johnny's return looms, Alice must reckon with a love that arrived too late and a commitment she's no longer sure she can keep.
When Ed Parker receives his Army draft notice just as Doris hopes to convince him that they're ready for marriage, their romance faces its greatest test yet. Frustrated by his lack of prospects and feeling trapped by civilian life, Ed ships out to basic training, leaving Doris to wonder if the military has stolen her future away. But as Ed discovers unexpected opportunities during his service, both he and Doris learn hard truths about love, security, and what it really takes to build a life together.
When a chance bus-stop encounter leads Gail Phillips to invite Sgt. Ken Davenport home for dinner, neither expects the evening to change everything. As Ken visits whenever his military leave allows, Gail finds herself torn between her longtime sweetheart Doug Brent and the undeniable pull she feels toward the charming soldier—a confusion that comes to a head during a romantic dance and a confession she isn't prepared to hear. By the time Gail makes her choice and puts pen to paper, circumstances force her to confront whether absence truly tests the heart, or whether she's let the wrong man slip away.
Audrey works at a music shop where Corporal Rod Humphries keeps coming in, and when he finally confesses his feelings, she's thrilled—until her skeptical friend Virginia challenges whether Rod's really faithful by offering to seduce him herself. To prove Virginia wrong and show off Rod's devotion, Audrey agrees to a risky plan: hide in the storeroom while Virginia tries her best to win Rod over, with a tape recorder capturing everything. What Audrey doesn't expect is how Rod will react when he discovers the whole scheme, and whether faith in love can survive a test designed to prove it.
