The stories

“Love Is a Swinger!”

Michelle is engaged to a wonderful guy, but feels his ring is an anchor dragging her down as she envisions their future. She takes off his ring and plans to give it back to him when he takes her to a discotheque one evening. Before she can tell him how she feels, she is stunned to see him get up and dance with the attractive singer playing there. She later catches him kissing Lily and realizes that she does love him now that she has lost him. But Dick had just been using Lily to try to forget Michelle when he had noticed she had taken his ring off.

“The Test of Time”

Sue gets engaged and invites her brother to come for the weekend to reveal her big surprise. When Jim arrives, he has his own surprise as he is also engaged and arrives with his fiancee. They plan to have a two week celebration before their wedding, but before the two weeks are up Sue and Jim catch their partners kissing each other.

“Will I See Him?”

After breaking up with Lew, Anne goes to Joan's party wondering if she will see him there.

“Appointment with Heartbreak”

Clay has asked Anne to meet him in the park. She assumes he is going to tell her he doesn't love her anymore because she has learned that he has been seeing another girl almost every evening while she has been out of town on an extended business trip. As she approaches Clay's bench, she decides she is not ready to face him. She finds an outdoor restaurant where she tells her story to a sympathetic stranger.
