Sweethearts #56

# Sweethearts #56 This issue contains two romantic stories. In "Kisses and Smiles," Jay confesses his long-held love for Bonnie during a romantic outing in the hills above town, revealing he has loved her for two years but never asked her to marry him because he feared she would reject a serious proposal. Bonnie initially resists, saying she tried to be the kind of girl Jay wanted but lost herself in the attempt, and she insists on being her true self. In the second story, Bruce's new mother attempts to befriend him, but Bruce resents her and dislikes his father's remarriage. The boy's mother befriends Bruce and eventually helps him see that his father deserves happiness, though Bruce remains conflicted about accepting her presence in his life.
