Why I Tried To Set Up Catherine with Nick

When I first met Nick, I thought he was a very kind and seemed like a good man. I did trust anyone that Tom brought around also, which also added to my liking of him. I wanted my sister to find someone who was well put together and someone who was getting somewhere in life. I could tell that Nick was definitely trying his hardest and doing well in the bond business. My sister never really cared who I set her up with, she always had curiosity in meeting new people, especially young men. We had a party in New York City and we all got pretty drunk. When Catherine first met Nick, she liked him from the start. But as we had a party, I saw them together having fun and they seemed happy together. I have to say Nick is very outgoing when he is around new people who want to have fun. Catherine and Nick never ended up together because Nick found a new love interest, Jordan Baker. Jordan was someone who was opposite of Nick and I never understood what he saw in her. My sister was perfect! But I did my part. I hoped  Catherine would find someone who loves her like Tom loved me.

    Myrtle,
    It was nice to meet you and your sister, as well as the McKee's. It's not that i don't like your sister, it's just that she's not my type. Anyways, it was a crazy night. It was only the second time I got drunk. I still have no idea how I got home. I also remember when Tom punched you and broke your nose. I didn't want to get involved in all of that drama. Your sister also told me that you hate your husband, just like Tom dislikes Daisy. I know you want to be with Tom. The only reason you can't be with him is because of your social status (no offense). I don't understand why you guys are still with your spouses.

What I Was Thinking When I First Met Tom On The Train

It was just a normal day. I was taking the train and relaxing in my seat, going to see my sister in New York City. There was a man across from me in the other seat. He was dressed very nicely, he was wearing a dress suit and patent leather shoes. I was instantly attracted to him, no sign of George in my mind. I loved the way this man presented himself, it shows how rich he probably is. I couldn't stop looking at him and into his eyes. I had to know his name. We didn't speak for a while he just moved next to me and I could feel his arm against mine. As much as I loved his appearance, I did kind of feel uncomfortable. I told him I would call the police, but he could tell I was just saying that to get a rise out of him. I started to think about my life if I had married a man like that. A man who was in control and had power, a man who probably had the most lovely house in all of New York. I wanted to be with a man like that. I didn't want to live the life I have with George, h...

Why I Didn't Tell George About Tom

I never told George about Tom or where the fancy pearls came from because I was scared. I know how stupid it sounds to say I was scared to tell George, but it's the truth. He was a man that I had loved for almost half of my lifetime, but things quickly changed after a while. George wasn't the same man that I knew when I married him. When we got married I knew him as a kind and loving man who I thought would always be there to protect me. But as time went on, he became very hostile, and would sometimes show abuse. I couldn't believe that he changed so drastically and I never understood why. I feel that he had many emotions he kept to himself and bottled up inside him. I knew he still loved me, but my love had faded because we didn't click like we used to. When I met Tom, I started to feel the emotions I had when I first met George. I felt happy and bubbly again. I knew that cheating on my husband and becoming Tom's mistress was wrong, but I couldn't stop myself....
