When one isn't emotionally attached, be it for exploitation or deception, actions can be taken with a clear conscience and a sense of righteousness. However, the moment that person falls in love, even the thought of deception or saying harsh words becomes unbearable. When faced with misfortunes, the first thought that comes to mind is to sacrifice themselves in order to protect the other person.
This is the true greatness of love.

Finally, at nine o'clock on Sunday night, Ruby received a call from Steve.
