What I was feeling when I met Myrtle
I was very curious as to why our car had stopped in a small, decrepit town outside of the city. Tom got out and walked around the car to my door and then said, "Come on. I want you to meet my girl." Though I was surprised he brought me here, I soon realized that he knew I would never speak of his affairs to anyone even Daisy. A large, feminine figure appeared and walked slowly and gracefully down the steps to where we were standing. This woman, not acknowledging me, looked intently and lovingly directly into Tom's eyes. The whole time I stood in that empty car shop, I felt absolutely dissgusted. How could Tom love anyone besides my beautiful cousin? Afterall, the mere sound of her soft voice could make a man feel like he was being addressed by an angel. I turned away my head and promised I would not say anything. It was not my place to get involved in the affairs of the Buchanans, but I felt a deep sense of guilt for Daisy. One that I thought would never go away.

ReplyDeleteI wish you had told me that the other guy was Tom, not Gatsby! I killed an innocent man! I really wish you told me! Was it Tom who was driving the car then? And try to pass it off at Gatsby because it was actually his? This is terrible! What should I do now? The cops are going to be after me soon. I think I can hear you walking over and I can hear sirens now. I think the only option I have now is to kill myself. I can't get caught. I've made a huge mistake.

Nick I really do appreciate you not telling Daisy about Tom and I. I know it must have been difficult for you finding out that Tom was cheating on Daisy but you don't understand the love Tom and I have for each other. We needed time for our love to fully grow before we left our spouses so I just wanted to thank you for keeping our little secret to yourself.
