Rekindling Love

At first, it was surprising to learn that Nick was Daisy's cousin, but again that's the reason he had come to New York in the first place. But just imagine the ultimate surprise that Gatsby experienced after learning that the love of his life happened to be in next door neighbor's good cousin, but poor Nick. When Gatsby and Nick meet each other, they are forced into a quite awkward friendship, for the fact that Gatsby knows exactly what he wants from Nick. It doesn't take long for Gatsby to attempt to explain his master plan to Nick, and asks him of a very important favor. He finds this favor so necessary that Gatsby even offers a fair amount of money for it. When Nick agrees on having Daisy over, Gatsby heads over to make sure the house looks all needy and even goes as far as cutting his grass and fixing up his lawn. It's interesting seeing how such a prestigious man turns back into a nervous school boy talking to his elementary school crush. He stutters, sweats, and does not act like himself. We've all been in situations like that, but it's quite odd to act like that when it has to do with a girl. When Daisy arrives, he magically disappears, and I suppose he must have anticipated a good amount o waiting time until he arrives just in time for quite a "surprise." The moment they met was so awkward. They could barely hold a normal, classic convo, so Nick left them to be and when he came back he found them talking. Throughout the day Daisy and Gatsby re kindle what they used to have, and when nervous Gatsby first knocked over the frozen clock, it described their relationship. Their love for each other seemed to have just stopped years ago, and picked up where it left off when they re met. Weeks later, Nick stops by Gatsby's to say hello to his neighbor and finds Tom talking to him and witnesses an awkward convo about Daisy. All Gatsby wants is Daisy to leave Tom so that she can be his. And at his party he looks forward to seeing her but realizes she's having a terrible time and feels terrible himself. Tom notices something fishy about the looks Daisy and Gatsby give each other, and becomes selfish and tells Daisy how Gatsby had become so rich, by bootlegging. This breaks her heart, so what is to become of their relationship now… Money can' buy happiness, but unfortunately Gatsby does not realize this...
