What I was Thinking When I saw Gatsby for the First Time After Marrying Tom

I was confused why Nicky had invited me over for tea but had insisted that I come alone. I did not have a thought process. My thoughts were everywhere. What could he be up to? When I saw Gatsby, everything rushed back to me. I thought of him and I sitting in the car in front of my house in Louisville before he went off to war. Those were the happiest days of my life. I was ever so confused though, why was he here? What did he want? I was so happy to see him but I could not express it. As him and I got more comfortable being with each other once again, I thought about why I had not seen him for so long and why had he not tried to talk to me sooner? It felt right just to be back with Gatsby. I thought about what life would have been like for the past five years if I had stayed loyal to Jay. We would be happily married, the happiest couple in the world, with many children and a huge house. We would have danced and been happy for every single day we would have been together. However, it is not this way, and I regretted not being with Gatsby. I regretted my current life. I pitied Tom, our love was hopeless. With him having a lady in New York, and myself now having Gatsby, what was the point of our pointless love? There, in that moment, that day with Gatsby, I knew I loved him. My love for Gatsby had never went away. Now I was thinking, how do I tell Tom that I want to spend the rest of my life with Jay Gatsby?

  1. Daisy, I am not sure how to feel right now. After reading this expression of emotion, I ought to smack you. However, I know that in the end you stayed loyal to me, so I also am proud and feel loved that you decided to stay with me. But right now you are obviously in love with this Gatsby man, and that is not going to be ok. What does this man have that I don't? Is it these parties he throws? Alcohol? Whatever it is, I can supply it for you. I have everything he does, and more. Also, about my affairs, during them I always love you. I work so hard, sometimes a man just needs to relax. But this doesn't mean I don't love you. However, you clearly have turned your back on my by going off with this Gatsby man. Just more proof woman can never be trusted! Please come back Daisy, I love you so much
    Tom
