What I was feeling when I first saw Gatsby at Nick's cottage

Nick had invited me to his cottage across the water for tea. I was excited to get to know him more and to see the cute little home he was living in. I walked in and I was admiring the flowers and decorations. I was looking at a bouquet of white roses in a vase and I was feeling so happy to see Nick and spend time with him. I looked up and saw his reflection in the mirror. It was Gatsby. I was so shocked, I could believe my eyes. I hadn’t seen Gatsby in years and I was over joyed to see him but at the same time in was scared. I was nervous to talk to him and interact with him because it had been so long after our departing. When I turned around, I was amazed at how he had not changed very much. He looked the same as I had seen him last. The nervousness and joy of seeing my Gatsby for the first time in years elevated through the roof when we finally spoke. I was just so in shock. I was not expecting him to be there, especially with Nick. I did not know they knew each other. The surprise overwhelmed me. I was at a loss for words. I am so glad I got to see him. I have missed him.
