An anthology issue containing multiple romance stories. "I Was Nobody's Girl" follows a woman who becomes emotionally distraught when her boyfriend Jimmy appears to have moved on, only to discover through a chance meeting that he still loves her and wants to marry her. "How Simple Life Would Have Been" depicts a woman named Hallie who becomes engaged to Brian, but struggles with insecurity about whether she's the right match for him, doubting herself even as Brian attempts to reassure her of his love and commitment. A third untitled story involves a romantic picnic outing that becomes complicated by misunderstandings and jealousy when a woman named Ann sprains her ankle and Ed's ex-fiancée Rose arrives with her new husband, leading to tension over photoshoots and questions about the characters' romantic loyalties.
