Nick is Daisy's second cousin and Nick had known Tom in college. Daisy lived in Louisville, the same town Nick was from until she married Tom and they moved to the East coast. In fact, when Nick first sees Daisy again, she asks playfully , "Do they the people of Louisville) miss me? Nick answers, "The whole town is desolate. All the cars have the left rear wheel painted black..." Daisy retorts, "How gorgeous! Let's go back, Tom. Tomorrow!" Of course, Tom and Daisy will never go back to the Midwest because they have throughly accustomed themselves to the East Coast and its values.
