I believe this is about a woman who’s is a new relationship with someone she suspects has another woman elsewhere (“the spoils” of the relationship). She has a growing suspicion ("bad feeling") about this. And she is conflicted between slowly falling in love a man she believes or imagines she's met and keeping a distance from him as she comes to know him better.
