Jackie feelings toward Hawk

" I'm sorry to intrude on your Sunday morning",
Jackie said. "But I have to talk about Hawk."
I nodded.
" Puzzling, isn't he, "Susan said.
Jackie shook her head.
" You know him," she said to me. " You must know him better than anyone."
I smiled encouragingly.
" I think I'm falling in love with him," Jackie said.
Susan and I both smiled encouragingly.
" But I"-she searched for the right way to say it-"I can't...he won't ..."
"You can't get at him,"I said.
"Yes."
Jackie was silent contemplating that, as if having found the right phrase for it,
she could rethink it in some useful way.
" I mean, what's not to like? He's fun to be with.
He's funny. He know stuff. He's a dandy lover...But I can't seem to get at him."
