Marrying Tom was something
I had to do to preserve my future wealth and happiness. If I had truly followed
my heart and pursued my love for Gatsby, I would not have been guaranteed the
lifestyle I have with Tom. When I first met Gatsby, he and I fell deeply in
love; but, he was going into the war. I decided to wait for his return so we
could pursue our relationship. We exchanged letters back and forth for months
but I couldn't wait forever. In Louisville, I met one of the most popular and
wealthy bachelors in town. From that moment I knew I wanted to seize the opportunity
to have a sybaritic lifestyle. Meeting
Tom made me realize that I probably would never see Gatsby again and it was
time to move on. He was able to provide me with everything I could ever want.
Tom and I have one common denominator: money which certainly held our marriage
together for a while. There was a time that I loved him and we were happy
together, but Gatsby always seemed to linger in the back of mind. I hoped that
one day we would find each other once again and our love would be resurrected.
