Why I-Helped Daisy and Gatsby Get Together
Some may say it's strange that I would be a witness to my cousin cheating on her husband and do nothing about it, but I don't think that's a fair assumption. What I mean by that is, Gatsby and Daisy had a special connection, a connection that I never for even a second saw in Daisy and Tom. Gatsby and Daisy could have just stared at each other from across the room in silence and have no other place they wanted to be, yet Tom and Daisy just looked at each other with empty eyes and hearts even if they were having a pleasant conversation. Plus, I liked Gatsby way better than Tom. I mean, he cheated on her in the first place so I didn't owe him anything to stop Daisy from being with Gatsby if she wanted to. Sure, Daisy could be superficial and careless, but she was so happy around Gatsby and I knew that Gatsby really loved her and would be willing to do anything for her. He was the exact opposite of Tom, who was very authoritative and rude and only cared about himself. That's why I left Gatsby's house as soon as Daisy and Gatsby started talking. I didn't want to interrupt the true love that they shared, a love that I wish I could have gotten to experience with Jordan Baker. Anyway, I knew that if I would have said something to Daisy and Gatsby in that moment, I would have been better off talking to myself because they were so entranced in each other that they wouldn't have even heard me.

I'm sorry we weren't able to work, Nick. It really wouldn't have anyway. You are too clever of a man for me, and I can't afford to be with that type. I am glad though that you were able to make Daisy happy by reuniting her with Gatsby.
