First Kiss #9
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "A Childish Dream," Liz—a successful city editor who’s built a life of polished detachment—returns to her quiet Kansas roots after a sudden resignation, her true feelings buried beneath a mask of ambition. When Josh Carrol, the illustrator she’s quietly loved all along, tracks her down, their reunion stirs something long denied, leaving her poised between the life she made and the one she never stopped dreaming of. The story unfolds with quiet intensity, drawn with the expressive precision of Vince Colletta, whose inks shape every glance and hesitation.
In "A Childish Dream," Ginny Barlow and Tate Conroy—once childhood friends who played in an abandoned mill—reunite as adults when the mill is reborn as a high-end restaurant. Now grown and successful, their return to the place where their past still lingers sets the stage for something quietly meaningful.
In "Lucky Liz," Liz—once the envy of her small Kansas town for her big-city success as a sharp-tongued editor at Nation Weekly—flees back home, tired of pretending she doesn’t care. Her quiet return stirs old feelings, especially when Josh Carrol, the artist she’s long admired from afar, tracks her down.
