Daisy and Tom were sitting opposite each other at the kitchen table….They weren’t happy…yet they weren’t unhappy either. There was an unmistakable air of natural intimacy about the picture, and anybody would have said that they were conspiring together.
– F. Scott Fitzgerald
The Great Gatsby. Chapter 7, Daisy and Tom decide to stay together for practicality reasons. They may not forgive each other, but they just don’t care anymore. Their marriage is a lie.
