My Personal Problem #3

A twenty-five-year-old office worker tired of being left behind while her coworkers find romance decides to buy herself an engagement ring—then invents a fictional fiancé to explain it away. When a coworker offers to set her up with a lonely friend he knows, she sees an unexpected chance to turn her deception into something real, but first she has to find the courage to confess the truth.

A young serviceman returns home from the Army to find his old sweetheart married to someone else—and no job waiting for him. When he meets Jean, a waitress with kind brown eyes working herself ragged at a struggling diner, he can't stay away, and soon he's helping her keep the place afloat. As Nickie and Jean grow closer, he realizes he has something important to tell her, but first he needs to be sure he can back up every word.
