That's what I read in the books initially. A girl that can see past his facade and and a boy that only wants to be loved... Maybe it's the mother in me that wants to see a boy be saved from not being loved, or the women in me that thinks we can change a man, who knows, but I honestly did not see the rest of it until it was put into a movie, where words are not fancied up or used to create a different perspective to what it really is. It somehow has ruined the books for me now. In the real world where there are no words to create a different ending, this would not end well for most women
