Suddenly
The mansion seemed less a house than a vision, its walls dissolving into light and laughter, its music rising like a tide that carried me far from myself. I drifted through the throng, dazzled by the glittering faces and the perfume of champagne. And then—suddenly, as though conjured from the very air—he was there. Gatsby.
He stood with the quiet assurance of one who belongs to the very dream he inhabits, his smile touched with mystery. I felt words stir within me, but they faltered before they could take shape.
“Would you care for a glass of champagne?” he asked, his voice smooth, almost musical, as if the question itself were part of the orchestra’s refrain.
I smiled, helplessly, and answered, “Yes, please,” though I was certain my awkwardness betrayed me. Yet in that moment, beneath the chandeliers and the endless glitter, even folly seemed gilded, and I was caught in the spell of his world.
I hope you like it.
