The stories

“Dance with Me, Darling!”

Doug and Diana had been dancing partners since childhood. Over the years their dancing partnership sees successful dance contests, a professional career and eventually, love. Their big chance comes when they are scheduled to appear on a nationwide television show, but Diana trips on some stairs and sprains her ankle. Unable to perform, she has to watch as another girl takes her place and worries that she will lose Doug to his new dance partner.

“Heartbreak”

The face of Cheryl's boyfriend is badly injured while he is serving in Vietnam and he tells her they are through because he doesn't want her pity.

“Teen-Age Queen of the Year!”

“My First Love Was My Last Love!”

Mary starts as a student nurse at swanky Oxford Hills Hospital, a place that serves very high class people. On her first day she becomes the only nurse that a wealthy patient known for being a "nurse-eating tiger" will take care from. Soon after she starts falling in love with an interne, but is heartbroken when she sees him kissing a high society volunteer whose father had donated the west wing of the hospital.
