In this passage, nick tells daisy and tom that he is not engaged. based on this passage, which conflict is most likely to develop?

“But we heard it,” insisted Daisy … “We heard it from three people, so it must be true.”

Of course I knew what they were referring to, but I wasn't even vaguely engaged. The fact that gossip had published the banns was one of the reasons I had come East. You can't stop going with an old friend on account of rumors, and on the other hand I had no intention of being rumored into marriage.

Their interest rather touched me … nevertheless, I was confused and a little disgusted as I drove away.
