About This Quote

In the story The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gatsby has a book of poems that he gives to his girlfriend. He tells her that it is one of his favorites, but she doesn’t get a chance to read it until after he dies. In the book, this is a way to get a girl’s attention.

But what if you didn’t have to wait for the right moment? By just winking at someone and making her feel special in any way, you can make her feel like they are in on your joke and it will always be a secret between you and your friend. A wink is meant to be a secret and can be used as such when talking about something you would like them not to tell anyone else.
