What I was thinking when Tom asked me to meet "his girl"...

When Tom first invited me to meet his mistress, I was slightly perplexed. Why would he ask me? I was Daisy’s cousin. To any other man, asking your spouse’s relative to meet your mistress would be an incredibly idiotic plan. I wondered why he trusted me with such an enormous and potentially marriage-shattering secret. Perhaps, to him, I seemed like a reserved and trustworthy gentleman that would not even think about revealing the grim truth. He was correct in his assumption. I wondered if Daisy was completely ignorant of this situation. How much did she really know? What caused this moral collapse? It was possible that Daisy was the catalyst in Tom’s loss of faith. Although, they could both be equally be at fault. Their ostentatious displays and constant merrymaking could, also, have led to their detachment. Marriage and life in the Eggs was very unlike my common perception.
