"Flavio Gil. Remember the name. Because… I will commit to you from now on."
After several seconds of silence, Sandra hugs Flavio, and they are still in their unmentionables.
She tearfully announces, "Thank you, Flavio… thank you for the advice… and for this wonderful night. This is my first time being this conflicted over someone I unconditionally loved.
"And now, I'm ready to live a brand-new life with you… so I can face my past with confidence."
In the end, the man and the woman who both revolved their lives around sex… found love after searching for it for so long.
