Love Story Picture Library #941

Kathy Morgan’s long-standing distrust of men is put to the test when a mysterious figure begins to stir feelings she can’t explain—though she’s never even spoken to him. At the shop where she works, her repeated rejections of a shy regular who buys pipe-cleaners lead her friend to suggest a date, just to stir things up. But as Kathy starts to wonder if jealousy might be the real reason she’s so resistant, she finds herself caught between a past she can’t escape and a future she’s not ready to face.

In a quiet moment between pages of a magazine, June finds herself drawn to a mysterious horoscope that promises a life-changing meeting at a cross at eight o’clock on Thursday. John, equally unremarkable in his romantic history, feels an unexpected pull toward the same spot, unaware he’s about to cross paths with someone who shares his quiet world. As they exchange playful lies about exotic fiances, neither realizes how deeply their lives are already intertwined—until a chance encounter leaves them both wondering what might have been.
