Vera! I thought I might see you here, and yes, I suppose it is. It’s a real pity, but you can’t stop human nature, now, can you? [laughs]

How are you? [tapping the shoulder of a nearby waiter, he says] Let’s get a drink for Miss Winston, old sport—how about a mint julep?

[so-very-vera]

"How did you know those are one of my favorites? I'm wonderful, Jay. Always happy to be here on a Saturday night. How's life treating you, anything exciting?"

*the waiter is back and Vera takes her drink* "Thank you, darling."

[valourextraordinaire-blog]

I’m terribly sorry for the lack of enthusiasm tonight, my friends. It’s no one’s fault but my own, and I apologise.

[so-very-vera]

Oh darling that's not your fault. It's August! Summer is quieting down and I suppose people are too.

[hazelnash-archive]

I know those quite well, as I have a few pairs myself. It’s always the worst when those go. 

[so-very-vera]

I almost cried. Really. I did. I've had them since my taxi dancing days. *sighs* They were very beginning Chanel too... Maybe she'll give me another pair. 

[hazelnash-archive]

That’s too bad. Dancing shoes, or regular ones?

[so-very-vera]

Well, you know the pair of shoes every woman has that aren't dancing shoes but she dances in them anyway? It was those.

[notsolittlefrenchgirl]

Well I suppose so, there’s been absolutely nothing to do these past few days.

[so-very-vera]

Excellent. I absolutely adore your outfits, so your opinions must be valid!

"Hm, yeah. I don’t know, I feel like I would be out of place if I went to some place like France— too many people speaking a language I can’t understand. I’m sure it would be beautiful though."

[so-very-vera]

Oh, Arthur it'd be wonderful! Eating baguettes and sipping champagne... And the language barrier is very easy to break through. We could learn a little before we go Oh it'd be absolutely grand!

[so-very-vera]

Will you ever give up on being with Gatsby?

*innocently* What? Who said anything about him...?

Oh alright. To tell you the truth, Jay is wonderful and I think of him often and I love the way he smiles but he's always so mysterious... I rarely get to see him...

[notsolittlefrenchgirl]

That’s the worst, but they’re just shoes. I’m sure you can find another pair.

[so-very-vera]

Would you help me? We could go into the City and just shop for a day. I've been needing a new dress for Gatsby anyways...

[the-lawyer-in-new-york]

"Yes, I’ve just moved back from Boston a couple months ago. What about you?"

!

[so-very-vera]

I've lived here my whole life but would love to travel. Maybe see Paris or something...

[notsolittlefrenchgirl]

Can you not afford new ones?

[so-very-vera]

I can but these were my favorites. I've had these since my taxi dancing days.

[the-lawyer-in-new-york]

*Overhearing the comment, turns around and looks at Vera* Oh, hello. I think I’ve seen you around. My name’s Arthur.”

[so-very-vera]

Arthur... yes, you live here on West Egg don't you? I might have seen you before... Anyways, I'm Vera. Pleased to meet you.

[so-very-vera]

I think my shoes have reached their literal breaking point.

[so-very-vera]

Well I can’t say the same but my record player did break. *smiles sheepishly*

[theodoremiller-deactivated20130]

I’m sorry to hear that, have you gotten a new one?

[so-very-vera]

I did! It's one of the new models. I just can't live without music, tea, and parties.

[so-very-vera]

Aww darling, what happened? There are bags under your eyes.

[theodoremiller-deactivated20130]

Sadly, they are. I was completely swamped with work this week, and I am so glad that it is over.

[so-very-vera]

Well I can't say the same but my record player did break. *smiles sheepishly*
