We watched a movie last night, one with a familiar story.
Boy meets damaged girl. Boy falls in love with damaged girl.
Damaged girl agrees to superficial relationship, insists boy needn’t dig deeper.
Boy, realizing he loves girl, tells her he wants more.
Girl dumps boy – she can’ t deal with a real relationship.
Boy refuses to give up. He sacrifices a very important job opportunity to prove his love for her.
Girl accepts his sacrifice, offers conditions on their relationship.
Boy accepts conditions, then offers counter-conditions.
Girl finally opens up about the pain in her life.
Boy tells her he loves her no matter what. To him, she is not her past – she is part of their future.
Girl cries. It’s hard to let go of the past, to trust.
Boy re-affirms that she will be his, and what others say won’t matter.
Girl ….
Finally finds true love.
