Just finished enjoying My Antonia and had a quick question for any expert out there

By RestlessBlue72

After I finished, I saw online that Jim and Lena had an affair while he was around Lincoln. I can see how Jim might fantasize about Lena more than he ever could with Tony, and that she definitely pulled his focus away from his work… but I honestly didn’t feel like they were actually getting together. Am I supposed to just assume it happened, or did I miss some more obvious hint/confession?
