In "The Dream Hunter," a conversation unfolds between Arik and Geary that highlights their differing views on love and commitment. Arik expresses a nonchalant attitude toward marriage, stating he would go to great lengths for Geary but questions the necessity of tying the knot. This reveals his complicated feelings and a sense of freedom he associates with love.
Geary, on the other hand, firmly believes in the importance of marriage, indicating that it holds significant value for her and suggesting that it symbolizes a deeper bond. Arik's response reflects his willingness to honor Geary's desires, demonstrating his care for her by allowing her to continue living with the hope of potentially reconciling their differing ideals.
