The reason I would throw excessive and extravagant parties
at my mansion in west egg was to try and catch Daisy’s attention. Everyone in New York would come. There were lights, food, drinks and wonderful
entertainment. My intention of these
parties were not to have fun and get out of hand every weekend. I simply wanted to somehow reach out to Daisy
and finally lock eyes with her again. I
would hope she would look across the bay and see the bright lights or would
hear about it through word of mouth of a friend. Unfortunately, she never seemed to show. I wasn’t
sure if she hadn’t heard about the party and didn’t come, or if she heard it
was being held at my mansion and didn’t want to come. However, none of my guests knew who I was. They would attend my parties unknowing of
what I looked like or what I did. Some
would make up amazing and outrageous stories to explain my mystery. Once I realized that my glamorous parties weren’t
going to attract Daisy, I decided to invite my neighbor Nick Caraway to my next
party. He would be the only one with an
invite because I wanted him to show up so I could have a chat with him. Nick was Daisy’s cousin and I knew he could
help me get into contact with her. As I spent
time with Nick, I grew to like him more and more. He was a charming young man and had a good
heart. He set up a lunch with Daisy and
we got back in touch once more. Daisy
was the love of my life and I would’ve done anything to get her back. We decided we wanted to be together and spent
more and more time together. Once she
came to one of my parties, I could tell she felt out of place and
uncomfortable. It wasn’t the kind of
lifestyle she was used to and this concerned me. It made me wonder if she was actually going
to leave Tom to be with me because she was so used to the lifestyle she had
with him. If Daisy truly loved me, she
would have left her cheating husband to be with the man that actually loves and
cares for her.
