That day is particularly hot and before heading into town Daisy mentions to Gatsby "you always look so cool". I believe that this means she is telling him that she loves him discretely. Before they arrive in town tom unearths the fact that Daisy and Gatsby are having an affair but bottles it inside. Once they all( Tom, Jordan, Nick, Gatsby, and Daisy) arrive at the plaza hotel Tom can no longer contain his rage and reveals his knowledge of the affair. Daisy is then caught in the middle of Tom and Gatsby, and though previously stating that she loved Gatsby she seems conflicted.
