The story so far
Everything you need before watchingRain still hangs over West Egg when Daisy Buchanan arrives at Nick's cottage for tea. She does not know Jay Gatsby is waiting inside, the room stuffed with flowers. Five years collapse into a smashed clock, a stiff handshake, and tea neither of them can drink. Gatsby panics in the kitchen; Nick tells him Daisy is just as embarrassed. When the rain stops, Gatsby points across the bay to his mansion and asks them over.
