# Just Married #40 This issue contains two romantic stories. "Once Too Often" depicts a woman named Dick who reflects on her relationship with a man she loved but repeatedly had to let go due to emotional barriers between them; after a moment of hysteria, she regains her composure and reunites with him at an airport, deciding to pack things and move forward together. The second story follows Mary, a woman who feels she has lost time while separated from her boyfriend Dick; upon his return, she realizes what she was missing and the couple reconciles, with Dick proposing they get married in June and the story ending with them engaged and planning their future together.

Contains 5 stories
Born Jealous
8 pp · Romance

A young woman raised in loneliness after losing her parents finds love with Tom and marries him, only to discover that her lifelong fear of losing what's hers has made her desperately jealous and possessive. When Tom's work demands take him away from home, her deepest insecurities resurface—but a moment of crisis forces her to confront the destructive pattern she's created in their marriage. "Born Jealous" traces how a childhood wound can poison even the love we've fought hardest to claim.

The Proposal
1 pp · Romance

In "The Proposal," we explore the time-honored tradition of marriage proposals—from the classic moment of a man on bended knee to the special leap-year privilege that lets a woman take the initiative herself. Whether it's a shy suitor finally finding his courage or a determined young woman seizing her chance on February 29th, the story celebrates how couples find their own way to commit to one another.

Once Too Often
7 pp · Romance

A young woman named Mary has loved Dick since childhood, but his fear of commitment keeps pulling them apart—each time he hints at a future together, he retreats, and each time she hopes this will finally be the moment he's ready. As Dick graduates and builds his career, Mary finds herself caught in a painful cycle of hope and disappointment, forced to choose between the love she's held onto for so long and the life she deserves.

Marriage
1 pp · Romance

A young woman grows impatient waiting for her boyfriend to commit to marriage, and when he finally proposes—too late—she's already moved on with someone new. "Marriage" explores what happens when hesitation costs you everything, and sometimes the sweetest revenge is simply choosing yourself first.

Meeting Place For Lovers
8 pp · Romance

A young woman named Carol meets Vince at a mountain resort weekend getaway, and what begins as an exciting romance quickly blossoms into love and marriage. But the magic of those first enchanted days fades as the realities of married life—burnt dinners, late nights at the office, and growing distance—threaten to unravel what once felt so effortless. When Vince realizes something precious has been lost, he makes a daring decision to remind them both of where their love story truly began.
