Jacqui Adams is the first woman with whom Grant has an affair. She is middle-aged, already married, and enrolled in one of his courses at the university as part of a larger new wave of married women looking to “enrich their lives” through additional education. Grant remembers himself as choosing Jacqui as one option among many willing women. To his mind, Jacqui was the opposite of Fiona, in both physical appearance and personality. Their affair lasts for a year until Jacqui’s husband is transferred to a different location. Jacqui shakes when saying goodbye to Grant and writes him letters after she leaves, but Grant does not write back, looking down on the letters for their histrionic tone, and quickly gets involved with a young student.

The Bear Came Over the Mountain
Quotes
She was the opposite of Fiona—short, cushiony, dark-eyed, effusive. A stranger to irony. The affair lasted for a year, until her husband was transferred. When they were saying goodbye in her car, she began to shake uncontrollably. It was as if she had hypothermia. She wrote to him a few times, but he found the tone of her letters overwrought and could not decide how to answer.
