Throwing in the Towel

Summary

The year Caleb’s car crash left him paralyzed and shattered his career, I sold my grandfather's house and worked as a janitor for eight grueling years. I scraped together the astronomical medical bills to pay for his surgeries, standing by him until he reclaimed his title as the World Boxing Champion.

At his victory gala, he held the championship belt, tears in his eyes as he made a public confession.

“I want to thank the love of my life, who never gave up on me. May we spend the rest of our lives together.”

My eyes welled with tears. I thought my years of suffering had finally paid off.
