Your story gives a marvellous demonstration of what can be achieved when a person helps someone in need through kindness and not because of a selfish desire. Robert is a truly decent human being and Stella eventually shines as a result.

Lovely story @fantom22, you lead us on, we’re expecting a soppy love story, but instead you give us a tale about how a good heart can circumvent the scourge of poverty and it’s necessary side-kick, crime. Nicely done!
