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,
ReplyDeleteIt 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.
