Jasmine had always been a kind-hearted girl. However, when she approached a homeless man living on the street near her house to offer him a blanket, she did not expect to fall in love. She would soon learn that kindness does indeed pay.
What does it mean to love unconditionally, and is such love attainable in real life? Or is it only in storybooks?
Jasmine was returning home from the grocery store when she noticed something odd. Off the corner of her eye, she could make out what seemed to be a man sleeping on the street, and she was sure he had not been there long.

At first, she brushed it off, but the sight kept nagging her, stuck at the back of her mind like a melody. As she left her house the following day to go to work, she saw the man again.
She was convinced he would be long gone when she returned that evening. After all, this was a respectable neighborhood, and she had never seen homeless people on the street. “He must be lost or something,” she concluded, getting into her Honda Civic.
She had a good day at work and soon forgot about the man sleeping on her street. But when she pulled up near her house that evening, she was shocked to see he was still there.
It was chilly, and she could not imagine how cold he must have been, sleeping on the street in tattered clothes. She quickly got into the house and came rushing out with a blanket.
“Hi, I’m Jasmine,” she said as she approached the homeless man.
Once she got close enough to him, she handed over the blanket, sat on the curb, and said, “I’ve seen you here for a few days now. Are you homeless?”
“Yes, I just lost my business and house, and I have no choice but to live on the street.”

The man, named Dean, retold how his business had collapsed following the embezzlement of funds by greedy employees, leaving it bankrupt. He said he had to lay off more than 500 employees in addition to losing his house and car.
Jasmine was beyond herself with pity. She asked him why he did not move in with relatives, but he said he had none. The only option left for him was to live on the streets.
They talked for a while before she asked to take her leave. While Jasmine did not say it, she knew she would help Dean back on his feet, even if she did not have much wealth herself. She may have been an orphan, but she was a kind soul.
That evening, she made plenty of food for dinner, shared it with Dean, and did the same every day for the rest of the week. The pair would sit talking for hours and became very close.
They fell in love fast. Jasmine...
