Jack invited Whit to a basketball game that evening and Whit found that the person Jenny was dating was Jack! At the game, Whit and Jenny talked while Jack struggled to get in a word. The two of them met for weeks afterward, Whit helping Jenny with her writing and Jenny helping Whit with his public speaking.
After one of Whit’s speeches, Jenny tells Whit about a problem. She loves Jack as a friend, but no more. Whit advises her to be kind. Jack and Jenny go out to dinner that evening and Jack reads her a portion of a letter telling her how much he loves her. Jenny feels overwhelmed and doesn’t say anything more to Jack.

Jenny finally tells Jack the truth that she doesn’t love him the way he loves her. Jack surmises there must be someone else in her life... and it must be Whit.
Jack withdraws into himself, missing classes and not going to work. He won’t talk to Whit or Jenny. The only one he talks to is his friend Emily through letters. While Whit and Jenny wonder if they can really be right for each other if it’s causing all this pain, Emily shows up and Jack’s door and counsels him that he needs to stop feeling sorry for himself and that if Whit and Jenny are right for each other, then he shouldn’t get in the way.
Whit finally finds Jack at the auction house where he works and Jack relays what Jenny says and tells Whit that whatever the future has in store for Whit and Jenny…well…that’s their business. Just before Whit goes, Jack gives him something for Jenny…a first edition of The Allegory of Love by C. S. Lewis.
