Romantic Story #41

This issue contains at least two stories. "Romantic Story" follows a young woman who buries herself in books to escape her loneliness in Paris, only to encounter a mysterious stranger on the streets who introduces himself and sparks an unexpected connection. "Only Dreams" depicts a woman who, having suffered romantic disappointment and self-consciousness about wearing glasses and braces, resigned herself to believing romance could only exist in her dreams—until a man shows interest in her despite her insecurities about her appearance. A third story involves a man named Jeff whose father and he share similar romantic troubles, leading him to propose marriage to a woman named Darling so they might redirect their attention elsewhere.
