She doesn’t really fall in love with him, but the time they share is what changed her life for the better, and she never forgets that. She remembers him fondly, but without attachment. During their time together, she changed dramatically, and he is the one who gave her the means to break out of her life. She in turn saved his life through means that he left her with.
