What was I thinking when I went for Tom Buchanan? My decision to have an affair with Tom was actually the best choice I have ever made! He’s wealthy and a REAL gentleman. He is nothing like George Wilson. Tom is so great to me. He buys me lots of things, including cute little puppies. Tom’s got so much money and when I’m with him it feels like I have that money too. He even appeared rich when I first saw him. I was on the train on my way to visit my sister in New York and he was sitting across from me. Tom was certainly attractive in his dress suit and patent leather shoes. His outfit screamed wealth. I couldn’t keep my eyes off of him, which was definitely awkward when he caught me staring. At least that means he was looking at me too. It got a little weird when we arrived at the station and his shirt-front was pressed against my arm. When I threatened to call the police, Tom did not back off, which was a little creepy, but I guess it’s okay because he’s rich and cute. I was thinking about how much I needed that trip to get away from my husband and Tom just happened to fall in my path as well. I knew that he could be my step up into a higher, more luxurious lifestyle. My true destiny on that trip must have been to meet Tom. I don’t regret allowing Tom to make a move on me. You can’t live forever, so I might as well just live in the moment and bask in Tom’s attention.
You feel a lot when you get slapped. The obvious is the physical pain. The immediate stinging on the region you were hit. When Tom slapped me he broke my nose. Along with the physical pain is the emotional pain. Being slapped by someone you care about causes deep emotional repercussions. Imagine slapping someone for just saying a name. All I said was “Daisy” to Tom and he got so upset he let his emotions take control and Tom decided to hit me. Sure we were both drunk, and the night is still a little hazy, but I still had the right to say her name. When Tom is with me, I want his complete attention. He is not allow to think of his little wife that he left at home. If he even cared about her so much, he wouldn’t be cheating on her with me. I deserve Tom’s love. I said her name to make Tom angry and to see how far I could push his buttons. I think I also said her name because I was angry because she was still such a major part of his life. When Tom slapped me, I felt betrayed and disappoi...
Myrtle, I can't believe this is how you actually feel. I thought that you loved me. I tried to make as much money as I could for us but i guess that it just wasn't enough for your rich needs. I was prepared to move west for you because you've been talking about moving out there for such a long time now and you always seem so excited about it. I did everything for you Myrtle and it seems as though I mean nothing to you now.

Hey Myrtle, I completely agree that this was the best decision that you've ever made in your entire life. I do have so much wealth and power and I plan to use a bunch of it on you. But once again, you're welcome for letting you be with the one and only Tom Buchanan and I'll see you as soon as I can.
