Written and drawn with delicate sensitivity by Bill Draut, and lettered by Ira Schnapp, the story follows Marianne and June as a chance encounter with June's boyfriend Tim sets off a chain of emotions neither expected. The cover by Ric Estrada and Vince Colletta perfectly captures the moment's emotional weight, setting the stage for a tender, character-driven romance that unfolds with genuine warmth.
In "Abandoned!", Susan struggles to move on after Peter ends their relationship, retreating into isolation—until a chance collaboration with Clay forces her to confront her feelings. As they work together to prevent a crisis, she begins to see the quiet devotion he’s always shown, revealing a love that’s been there all along.
In "Secret Love," Marianne and June share a quiet camaraderie as coworkers at Hale's Department Store, their friendship tested when June’s boyfriend Tim shows up unexpectedly. As June grows restless and enlists Marianne in a lie to cancel a date, a quiet shift begins—one that catches Marianne off guard and leads Tim to see her in a new light. When June tries to reclaim Tim after her own romance falls apart, he finds himself drawn not to the past, but to the person who’s been quietly beside him all along.
