When she met Tom, they got marriied, and Daisy thought she loved him, but was still thinking about Gatsby. The day of her wedding to Tom, she got a letter that made her more depressed (and drunk) than she ever had been.

We learn that Gatsby bought the mansion only so that Daisy would be right across the bay.  ]]> 2020-02-24 16:54:06 UTC https://padlet.com/Abi_Seidenberg/greatgatsby22420/wish/449587403 Abi_Seidenberg https://padlet.com/Abi_Seidenberg/greatgatsby22420/wish/449592318 With Nick's help, Gatsby has tea with Daisy.
