"'We'd better keep away from each other.' 'But, darling, I have to see you. It isn't all that you know.' 'No, but it always gets to be.' 'That's my fault. Don't we pay for all the things we do, though?'" (Hemingway 34)

I have always been in love with Jake, and I also know that he has been in love with me for quite a long time now. Despite the fact that we both love each other, I would not want to have a relationship with Jake Barnes because I would not want to hurt him emotionally. This is why I said to him that I would like us to keep away from each other. Being with him constantly would continuously stir up my feelings for him that I have inside, but I do not want to express those feelings because I know that after some time, I would potentially lose those feelings for him. I would eventually end up running away with other men. He said to me that it isn’t all that I know, but I do end up knowing it all in the end. He’s the one who does not know the mess he will get into later on in this relationship. However, I do agree with him that we pay for the things we do. If I lose him, I will be paying for my lost friendship.
