# Heart Throbs #23 This issue contains at least two romantic stories. "My Foolish Test" follows a man who leaves his girlfriend Janice after she humiliates him, only to return months later claiming he's changed and asking her to marry him—she accepts despite the earlier pain. Another story depicts a couple, Bob and Judy, who hit a parked car while on a date and must figure out how to pay for the damage without telling their parents, facing the possibility of jail time if they cannot settle the $75 repair bill before the car's owner returns.
