    In that particular story, "romance" refers to the genre of imaginative literature, not romance as in "love."  The girl in the story (I think I her name is Vera) is adept at inventing stories (i.e. lying) on the spot.  Thus, her story about the men getting lost in the bog during their hunting expedition, etc., as an explanation about why the window is open.  Simply put, she's good at making up stories.
