The Ice Under Water

The story looks quite ordinary until I finish the last paragraph. It explains almost the whole story and leaves another story unwritten out. Is he desperate at hearing the news that she is going to marry another man? How much torture he may have gone through? But he seems to resign to the cruel reality and indulges himself in sex. All the possible  suffer he may undergo is not mentioned a bit in the passage. We see the beginning and the end, but we have to imagine on our own whatever happen during the process. I believe it is exactly the attractiveness of Hemingway's novels.
