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.
