Never. [She is completely, purely earnest in her answer, nestling close when his hand finds the curve of her shoulder, her nerves somewhat placated, but not too much so as to not accept every bit of affection he can give. She will miss the house, the convenience, and the utter scale and scope of his fantastic celebrations—but she remembers all that she left behind: the scandal and death, and all that she will receive in exchange for sacrificing her luxuries: Gatsby, and a life together. She will never tire of him: romantic, lovely, gentlemanly Gatsby.

She turns her gaze upwards, adoring and full of wonder, and also childishly desperate. She wants to believe that this is what he meant when he had whispered: it will be, that his brilliant imagination will never run out of ideas, and that this will lead them into a better life. This is what she had dreamed of when he was away for those long, terrible years during the war, when she had first been swept off her feet by the charismatic soldier for one night of passion.]

It's perfect, Jay.
