In the scene from The Final Warning by James Patterson, the narrator observes two characters spending a lot of time together. Although she notes that she didn't see them flirting, their close interaction and frequent shared focus on a computer or map seem to evoke strong emotional reactions in her. This suggests feelings of jealousy, anxiety, or protectiveness about their relationship.
Her physical reactions, like clenched stomach, teeth, and fists, indicate a deep emotional response to seeing them together. Her observations highlight her sense of unease or concern, hinting at underlying tension or conflict involving these characters, and she struggles internally with her feelings about their closeness.
