Daisy - Night Before the Wedding
Just before I married Tom, I received a letter from Gatsby. It said a lot of things. I had previously told him that I was marrying Tom and therefore could not wait for him. Presently I had received his response. I held the envelope in my hand for almost half an hour before I could bring myself to open it. I was so scared of the words inside, I almost cried without opening it. This had the potential to be the last letter between me and the man I loved. The one I truly loved. Not the one I loved like Tom. Only if I had realized that before that night. I would never have agreed to marry Tom. But to tell the truth, I was amazed with his wealth and the amount of money he had. He used to get me presents every week. He used to buy me jewelry every time I was sad and I would wipe the tears from my face. But still there I was sitting in the bathroom with tears in my eyes and reading the letter. Then I read those last two lines that devastated me "...cannot write you anymore. All I can do is to wish you a happy marriage." Then I grabbed a whole bottle of wine and drank in the bathroom. Then in comes Jordan. She saw me and she knew. She knew I did not love Tom. Plus she had seen us before that November evening, in the car. She knew I should not marry Tom, but there was nothing either of us could have possibly done at this point. So the next day, I stopped crying suppressed the memories of Gatsby in November and married Tom Buchanan. I had not looked back to find Gatsby since now.
