How We Met
Answer side by side“Describe the place where we met, as it really was.”
The question sits across the top; you each answer on your own page. Whoever writes second reads the first answer before writing — agree, argue, or correct the record.
Why this question
The room, the noise, the smell, the questionable lighting, what was playing, who else was there.
And once you’ve both answered
If we walked back in today, what would hit first?
Answering it honestly
- Whoever writes second reads the first answer before writing — properly, not a skim. Your page can agree, argue, or correct the record.
- Be specific. Dates, places, what was playing, who else was there. Wrong details are welcome; they're evidence.
- Don't negotiate a joint version. Two accounts that refuse to match are worth more than one polished one.
And the house rule, whatever the mode: leave a blank rather than write a lie. A blank can be filled later; a lie sits in the archive forever, and you both have to live with the paperwork.
