I find it strange how Nick is in between both situations. He knows that Tom is having an affair with Myrtle, but Tom is married to his cousin Daisy. Now Nick has to set up a date with Daisy and Gatsby. Gatsby is acting weird about all of it. He tries to pay Nick off and make him happy so that he can invite Daisy over and they can see each other at once.
The day Daisy comes over it's raining. Gatsby was already in the house with Nick when Daisy showed up to Nicks house. She comes in and Gatsby disappears. That's strange considering the fact that the whole idea was Gatsby's. But he shows up at the door as if he was just stopping through. They see each other for the first time in years and they're some what awkward. I guess that's what happens when you do not see a person you loved for years. Nick leaves the house to go outside and let them have some alone time. As he comes back in they're laughing and talking finally but with a hint of awkwardness roaming in the room. I wonder what Gatsby said to Daisy while they were in the room alone. Forgetting that they were invited to have tea and did not touch the tea.
After getting the awkwardness out, Gatsby decides to invite both Nick and Daisy over to his home. He wants to show off his belongings to Daisy because he knows that she loves money and expensive items. Daisy is very surprised that the home is Gatsby's. But of course she loves everything she encounters in his home. When he shows her his clothes that some English man sends him at the beginning of each season, she begins to cry. I'm not really sure why she cried over the shirts. Maybe it was because Gatsby was always the perfect guy and was not rich but now he finally it. Or maybe it was because she knows it's too late to try and do anything with Gatsby because she is now married to Tom. I wonder what the next chapter holds.
