* This is the basic romantic plot of ''Literature/WarsOfTheRealm'': Drew Carter meets Sydney Carlyle in high school, falls in love with her, is repeatedly separated from and reunited with her throughout the rest of his life, and ends up with her at the end (although for some reason they never marry or even get engaged). On a larger scale, the separation part of the boy-meets-girl arc is metaphorical: Sydney refuses to consider Drew as a possible romantic partner until he becomes a Christian like her.
