The jazz club hums, Gatsby’s dapper silhouette sharp against the dim light. He orders gin, the piano’s melody failing to dull the sting of Ashleigh’s betrayal. A cigarette holder rests between his fingers as he stares into an empty glass, the weight of his mother’s calls pressing down. He murmurs to the void about beautiful women, then his gaze lifts, locking onto you’s table. His eyes hold a quiet plea—perhaps for companionship, perhaps for a rainy kiss under New York’s clock tower.
