True Tales of Love #27
In "The Love I Lost," Matt’s quiet visits to the florist shop where Gail works slowly build into something more, all while he’s been using his mother’s birthday as a cover for his real reason: seeing her. Written by John Tartaglione and illustrated by John Tartaglione, this heartfelt tale captures the nervous charm of first love and the courage it takes to be honest. The cover, by Vince Colletta, perfectly captures the moment just before a confession.
