I Love You #27

"Wisdom of the Heart" A woman named Lisa recalls her past romance with Tim McLaren, a shabby but kind man she loved deeply. Though Tim was passed over for promotions while other men advanced, she cherished their connection until he left her at the end of a summer. Years later, they reunite, and Tim reveals he had deliberately stayed away because he didn't want her to suffer the poverty his lack of career success would have brought. After a final kiss goodnight, Tim leaves again, and Lisa receives a phone call the next day—Tim has decided to stay away for good, believing it's the right choice for her future.
