There’s a popular scene in the movies. During a dramatic ending, a battered, teary hero hugs the woman who has been a friend with benefits, or on-and-off girlfriend, and declares that he had spent years wandering in the wilderness, but now he realises that the one person he wanted to spend the rest of his life was always before him – her!
Or a rebellious “unconquerable,” beautiful young woman, who has explored all that life has to offer and returns to the basics. To the shy ex-boyfriend, who wears white shirts with vests, and oversized spectacles, and tells him she spent all the time running away because she didn’t want to be vulnerable and submit to the truth; that he, and only he, is the true love of her heart.
