Youthful Romances #9

A woman inherits her aunt's estate but struggles with grief and guilt over a boating accident involving a man named Ken Brady, whom she had met at Lake Pleasant. After encountering Ken again, she becomes involved in a theatrical romance with leading man Roger, whose embrace during rehearsals stirs her emotions, though she realizes he is merely play-acting. The narrative shifts to reveal a military subplot involving Captain Phillips, a decorated pilot, who impresses a woman by showing her war memorabilia, including a Tokyo edition scrapbook, as he contemplates whether she might be someone from his past he is trying to win over.
