** Because, in the movie, the "fortune teller" told her that Aunt Em was worried sick, so she felt guilty for leaving her.
** And in the book she's a little girl, lost and scared.

May end in StrangerInAFamiliarLand, deflating hopes; this can result in his searching for a new home, his realizing that his new home is where his [[PowerOfLove new love]] and [[PowerOfFriendship new friends]] are, or his deciding that after all, he loves InHarmsWay.

Inverse of InHarmsWay -- although it is not unknown for a character to oscillate between them. Can also be a motive for avoiding the DeadlyDecadentCourt.

It obviously can occur throughout the story, but can only be fulfilled at the end. As a consequence, often the bait for a LeaveYourQuestTest.

A hundred years later he's married with two children. In contrast, good and noble Drizzt who was equally relieved at finding people who accept him, keeps up an InHarmsWay lifestyle.

Maybe, despite your RefusalOfTheCall, you got dragged in, but you have always longed for escape; maybe you JumpedAtTheCall and are now older and wiser; maybe you did love being InHarmsWay, but it's gotten old now -- or you've [[PowerOfLove fallen in love]].

Any way, it's time for the HappyEnding: you get to go, and stay, home. Nice, peaceful, safe home. And do all sorts of quiet things. Maybe [[HappilyEverAfter settle down]] with the LoveInterest and indulge in BabiesEverAfter, or just [[CallToAgriculture grow some flowers]]. Definitely stop all this dangerous adventuring stuff. Any attempt at AndTheAdventureContinues will be rebuffed with WeAreNotGoingThroughThatAgain.
