The Final Cut: His "Charity Case" Cost Him Everything

Summary

I was sitting at a long red light on my way to meet Caleb at the hospital, so I pulled out my phone to kill time.

The top recommended post on Reddit caught my eye:

[Life, Freedom, Love, and Money: How would you rank them?]

The comments section was chaotic, but the vast majority ranked Money first.

Only one comment stood out, completely at odds with the rest.

"Love will always be my first choice. With love, everything else has meaning."

Someone immediately replied mockingly: "Another hopeless romantic."

But looking at that comment, a faint sense of agreement rippled through me.
