We know it's coming

As we all know, Brett isn't shy when it comes to men. Pretty much everyone in the group knows that she has had affairs with many different men. However, it is easy to tell that she is soon going to fall for another. On page 169, she begins to talk about the bullfighter Pedro Romero. Brett says, "Oh, isn't he [Romero] lovely. And those green trousers." Mike then replies by saying how she never took her eyes off of them. Since she seems to "fall in love" easily, one would think that she will become interested, and sure enough she does. In chapter 16, she tells Jake how she has fallen in love with Romero. The way the author foreshadows this is very effective. He only has her make a remark or two about Romero, but from that, you get the hint that she is goint to start liking him too.
