She had to think seriously about Carver and Dannon. Dannon was well under control-he'd been her security man for four years, and for all four years had hungered for her. Not just for sex. He was in love with her. That was useful. Carver was cruder. He didn't want her total being, he just wanted to fuck her. If she wasn't available, somebody else would do. So her grip on him was more precarious.

In contemplating her relationships with Dannon and Carver, she recognized their stark differences. Dannon, having been her security personnel for four years, was deeply infatuated with her. His feelings went beyond mere physical attraction; he was genuinely in love, which provided her with a sense of security and control. This emotional bond made Dannon a reliable ally in her life, ensuring that her interests were prioritized.

In contrast, Carver's intentions were far more superficial. His desire for her was solely physical, and he lacked the emotional depth that Dannon possessed. This made her connection with Carver less stable, as his interest could easily shift to someone else if she were unavailable. His crude desires highlighted the fragility of her hold on him, emphasizing the different levels of attachment she experienced with both men.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.

Books don't offer real escape, but they can stop a mind scratching itself raw.
