Lovely.

Tony really did love Jeanne.

Thanks! I think he's definitely still dealing what he learned about himself as a result and it's affecting his relationships (or potential relationships) with EJ, Ziva etc.

Beautifully crafted drabble!

I'm ashamed to admit, I've never read The Great Gatsby. Maybe I should take a leaf out of Tony's book, and watch the movie? Hee!

The movie isn't perfect, but Redford was awesome and the period costumes were gorgeous.

I struggled with this one, so I'm glad it worked for you.

Lovely little drabble.

Tony really did love her, sigh.

And Tony with literature, it doesn't feel OOC, then again he did talk about Edgar Alan Poe once.

Even a jock had to crack a book once in awhile, and I can definitely see post-broken leg Tony taking a modern American lit course.

I'm still not sure how much of what Tony felt was love and how much was the wish for love, but I know it messed him up something fierce.

Great story.

Tony and reading: He is way too facile with language not to be a secret reader. I think it's one of those things that he won't admit publicly, that he likes to read. I think that he's got a stash of poetry hidden beneath all the GSM (?) magazines in his bedroom. Plus, I remember Jeanne telling her nurse friend that Tony does the crossword puzzle while seated on the white throne. LOL! Truthfully, I really do see him as being a very smart man who hides it behind the goofy exterior. I suspect that he learned to show the social exterior thanks to countless summer camps and attending those boarding schools & military academy too. I think the need to fit in superceded his desire to look smart.

Excellent analysis of Tony's character. I just wish they'd let any of his on-screen growth stand without immediately re-setting him back to jerk-wad mode.
