Rosanna's romance is the first of several amusing love stories in this collection of romances and only one of them is ended by murder.
Melanie's many portraits have an air of mystery to them and the key to open and solve that mystery is in the eyes of each unfinished portrait.
The portraits are always of a young man whom she first saw when they were both children. Melanie has never met him, but year after year, they smile and wave at one another from opposite sides of streets.
The mystery of her many portraits is solved over twenty years later by the young man whom hasn't aged since Melanie's last portrait of him.
