In "Obsession" by Jennifer L. Armentrout, the protagonist grapples with intense feelings that complicate their sense of desire and attraction. The thought of engaging in a physical relationship is seen as a potential solution to the emotional turmoil they are experiencing. This reflects a common theme in romantic narratives where characters contemplate physical intimacy as a means to clear their heads and resolve inner conflict.

As the story unfolds, this perspective highlights the struggle between emotional connection and physical desire. The character's musings suggest that they believe a casual encounter might help them move on, but it also raises questions about the implications of such actions on their emotional well-being and relationships. This inner conflict is central to the narrative, adding depth to their journey of self-discovery and the complexities of human attraction.
