RE: *LOVE* a story with a happy ending!

Yes.

Happiness Is A Warm Gun
-—John Lennon, on the White Album.

Note:
The phrase was inspired by an advertisement in the May 1968 issue of The American Rifleman, the magazine of the U.S. National Rifle Association (NRA). The magazine belonged to The Beatles’ producer, George Martin, who had it in the studio at Abbey Road.
John Lennon found the phrase “a fantastic, insane thing to say”. He interpreted a “warm gun” as one that had just been fired, seeing the slogan as a darkly ironic commentary on American gun culture.
—American Songwriter Magazine and Wikipedia.
