☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeA woman named Chick becomes entangled with two men—a reporter named Hal Kane and a man named Tom—after Hal claims everything she said about him was true. When Hal and Tom are arrested and the story breaks in the morning edition, Chick realizes she has lost what she truly wanted. Later, she attends a party where she meets Joe Davies, an aspiring writer, and the two form a connection as Joe invites her to meet his friends and pursue a fresh start together.
In "Love Is on a Distant Star," Libby leaves her teaching job to chase her dream of singing in New York, living with her free-spirited Aunt Pat. There, she meets writer Kurt, drawn to him despite her growing doubts when she learns he’s a wealthy heir—and fears his affection is only for the image she pretends to be.
"Tick Tock Tale" is a humorous one-pager that plays the waiting game—a couple stuck in a chatty taxi cab endures a rambling driver who won't stop recounting a movie plot while the meter keeps ticking and their bill keeps climbing. The real comedy builds as the driver's story gets more and more muddled, and the passengers grow increasingly desperate to escape his endless narrative. By the time he reaches the "ending," you'll understand why they're willing to cut him off—and cut their losses.
In "If That's All You Offer...", Jo finds herself torn between her dedicated but work-obsessed boyfriend Chick and the flashy newcomer Hal, whose grand promises quickly reveal a dangerous agenda. As Chick’s exposé threatens to unravel Hal’s scheme, the tension boils over in a confrontation that leaves Jo questioning what really matters.
In a quiet summer escape, Marcia tries to charm wealthy Dirk by staging a car breakdown—only to find herself drawn to the mechanic, Ken, who fixes her car with quiet skill. Though she assumes he’s too far below her station, Ken surprises her with a revelation that upends her expectations, leaving her with a choice between pride and something deeper.
In "Dialogue Dottie," Jo finds herself stuck in a classroom feud with Clara, whose silence only fuels Dottie’s endless chatter—turning her focus away from schoolwork and straight into a whirlwind of words.
In "Twelve Steps to My Arms...", Joe, a dedicated engineer with dreams of becoming a writer, finds his focus shattered by the loud, chaotic parties of his upstairs neighbor Harriet. Their constant clashes over noise and space slowly give way to unexpected connection, as two people who seem worlds apart begin to see something deeper in each other.
