Nobody planned for breakfast.

Everyone talks about the big night. Can we talk about the following morning?

The glamorous part where somebody's making toast and pretending they're normal.

Maybe they're normal?

You know what I mean. You can feel completely different after sleeping on something.

I think I'd want every detail. Then I'd probably discover I didn't.

That's why you can talk about detail levels BEFORE. What would be helpful to hear? What would you rather leave alone?

This is starting to sound like paperwork.

Better paperwork than an avoidable argument at 8am.

I'd want to know whether we were still okay. Not necessarily a play-by-play.

I might need to ask twice.

Then ask twice. Just don't make them defend the whole evening because you're having a wobble.

What if one person really regrets it?

Then stop trying to declare the experience a success or failure. Listen to what happened for them.

I like the idea of agreeing that neither of us has to give a verdict over coffee.

Coffee, shower, take the day as it comes. That I can do.
