Winter Dreams part. 1 BY F. SCOTT FITZGERALD

Listen or follow along as I read the wonderful short story by Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald, better known as F. Scott Fitzgerald. Winter Dreams pt. 1
Wikipedia: The short story was based upon Fitzgerald's unsuccessful romantic pursuit of socialite Ginevra King. A wealthy heiress from a Chicago banking family, Ginevra enjoyed a privileged upbringing and was feted in the Chicago social scene as a member of the elite "Big Four" debutantes during World War I. While teenagers, Ginevra and Fitzgerald met at a sledding party and shared an unconsummated romance from 1915 to 1917, but their budding relationship soon ended when Ginevra's imperious father, Charles G. King, publicly humiliated the impressionable young writer and bluntly told him that "poor boys shouldn't think of marrying rich girls." Heeding her father's advice, Ginevra spurned Fitzgerald due to his lack of financial prospects. Fitzgerald later claimed that Ginevra had rejected him "with the most supreme boredom and indifference." Purportedly, "Fitzgerald was so smitten by King that for years he could not think of her without tears coming to his eyes."
