came around

Finally saw reason

Came around captures arrival or return, often with a casual or cyclical quality.

Someone who came around for dinner stopped by.

If an event came around again, it recurred as expected: When summer came around, we headed north.

To come around also means to change one's position: She was skeptical at first, but eventually came around.

If someone who fainted came around, they regained consciousness.
