the end?

That was an ambiguos ending if i ever read one. We see Jake and Brett become closer again and this time we think maybe they'll confess their love and stay with one another. But Brett cannot stay with one man and I think Jake begins to really accept it. I feel like before he said he was okay with it but really was not. Now, i think he fully accepts the fact that he will always love Brett but it cannot be. It even ends in a resigned fashion when Brett exclaims " we could have had sucha damned good time together."
and Jake replies, " Isn't it pretty to think so?" (pg. 251)

And then it ends with these characters never really accomplishing anything except being hurt by a fickle woman who seemed to be under her spell.
