    Story One:

    It could not be helped! In the CORE of my heart, I knew I was ENAMORED with Janie Simmons. The INFATUATION on my part was clear since I knew she was my HEARTTHROB! A genuine ROMANCE seemed likely. I planned an honest COURTSHIP with FLOWERS, CHOCOLATE and plenty of CORDIAL conversation with my TRUELOVE! I finally worked up the COURAGE to ask her to the SWEETHEART dance in the HEARTLAND of the county! Even if she said, "No!" her negative response would not DISCOURAGE me. There was absolutely no reason to feel HEARTBROKEN because there was no DISCORD between us! In fact, we were in total CONCORDANCE since she accepted the invitation with HEARTINESS!
