Great Lover Romances #9
Great Lover Romances #9 (1953) This issue is an anthology containing at least two stories. "The Cheat" follows a man who lies to his fiancée about his whereabouts, initially making excuses to avoid her, but his deception deepens over time as he sinks further into a pattern of dishonesty. "May I Help You, Sir?" features a woman who meets a man at a department store counter while buying a gift for her husband's birthday; she becomes distracted by thoughts of another tie counter where she previously lingered, and the two subsequently develop a romantic relationship that grows warmer over the following week, though it culminates in a bittersweet moment when she refuses his final kiss.
