When Wilbur’s nightly dates with Linda take an unexpected turn after she learns Laurie’s been away skiing, a series of mishaps — from a free-chocolate delivery run to a broken-down car — tests his patience and her patience alike. The story’s quiet humor and heartfelt moments shine through, with a cover by George Frese capturing the mood perfectly.

Wilbur dates Linda every night for two weeks. Linda finds out Laurie's been out of town skiing. Thinking that's why she's been getting Wilbur's attention, Linda waits to see if he will keep their date for the following day. Wilbur goes to get Linda a box of chocolates. He's told he'll get them for free if he'll deliver some first. After he's delivered the last box his car breaks down. When Wilbur finally shows up at Linda's, she slams the door in his face. Rejected, he takes the candy to Laurie's only to find she is upset with him since he's been spending so much time with Linda.
