AAAHHHHH, I was nicely surprised

In this book I was reading mentioned previously I wrote about that horrible character. Well, closer to the end of the book she tells the main character that she had the crush on, that she has had past lovers and was going back to one of them. She asks him if he is surprised. She tells him that the fact that he supposes that she can never experience happiness or joy in life hurts her. So, basically she challenges his stereotypical views and I was really glad to see it!
