Nick tells readers that Gatsby "wanted nothing less of Daisy than that she should go to Tom and say 'I never loved you.' After she had obliterated (erased) three years with that sentence they could decide upon the more practical measures to be taken. One of them was that, after she was free, they were to go back to Louisville and be married from her house -- just as if it were five years ago." (Chapter 6, p. 116)
