When his wife came home later, they spoke honestly for the first time. It was never really about airplane seats. It was about dignity, empathy, and how easily money can build walls between two hearts when humility is lost.

Because in the end, love shouldn’t come with a price tag — it should come with a promise: to see each other as equals, no matter what the world expects.
