What I was thinking when I first found out about Nick
Have you ever been watching a cartoon or something on TV and the villain/antagonist in the story gets a dastardly idea and a wicked smile stretches across their face? I had a moment exactly like that when I heard that young Nick Carraway was coming to West Egg. I had developed an unhealthy obsession for Daisy Buchanan, my old love from before the War, who broke my heart. I needed her and I wanted her- badly. Oh one more thing about her- she is Nick's cousin. It was all so easy now. I had thought of so many ways to meet her, invite her over, and impress her with my lavish lifestyle. None of these attempts had worked so far, however. But now, now, it was all set. I could have Nick invite her for dinner or something, to my house, and then I'll be right there, standing in all my wealth and glory, and she'll fall in love with me once again (she always did have a thing for money). Plus, if her cousin is just inviting her for a nice bite to eat, it'll seem pretty harmless. I won't have to worry about that behemoth Tom Buchanan getting suspicious. We'll be able to start a nice affair all to ourselves, and will have plenty of time to ourselves without anyone finding out- and even if they do, we will have time to enjoy ourselves. Daisy will be all mine soon, and a major piece of me will be filled once again.
