My dear cousin, Nick, had me over for tea at his house today. When he called to invite me, he told me not to bring Tom along. I thought it was an odd request, but it really didn't matter to me if Tom was there or not, so I went alone like Nick asked. I had just arrived when I learned why Nick wanted me to come without Tom. A great love from my past, a man named Jay Gatsby, came to tea as well. At first, it was like seeing a ghost. He came into the living room wearing a white suit and silver shirt. I didn't know what to say or how to act. So many thoughts were running through my head, and I lost my composure for a few minutes. It was so awkward. My mind went totally blank, and I didn't know what to say to him. I was trying to think of something to appropriate to say, but nothing came to my mind. Nick left Jay and me alone for a while, and I thought I should probably leave and go home. Then Jay and I started talking about our past and our memories of how things were between us five years ago. I think Jay is a wonderful man, and I can tell that he cares a lot about me. Jay lives next door to Nick, and he gave me a tour of his house. When I first saw his house, I could not believe how big it is. He has beautiful gardens outside and lovely furnishing inside. At first I was wondering why it was so important for him to show me everything, but then I realized that he wants me to know how wealthy he is. He wants me to know that he is worthy of me. I started thinking about how I decided to marry Tom because he has money. I realized that I should have waited for Jay instead. Jay has been in my heart since the first day I met him. I now know that I should never have married Tom. Jay Gatsby is the man for me. I am so happy that we are reunited!
