Critics have speculated as to whether she really loves him or not, even going so far as to say she merely wants what she cannot have. However, the text does not support that claim. Brett says over and over again how much she loves Jake and cannot stand being apart from him. She recognizes that it is better for them to be apart, but that she has no control over it. When Jake asks whether she wants them to see each other, she simply replies, “I have to” (35). Each time they touch each other and become affectionate, Brett becomes shaky and must stop it.

Couldn’t we just live together?" "I don’t think so. I’d just tromper you with everybody. You couldn’t stand it." (7. 7). This example shows of how they turn eachother down of a relationship.
