Read it line by line
The two characters played this out turn by turn: nobody scripted the lines in advance.
First impressions
I was told there would be a waltz. Nobody mentioned the instructor counts out loud, like a locksmith testing pins.
You pick locks? Then tell me: which clue do you open first, the easy one or the one that insults you?
The one that insults me. Always. Doors have opinions.
Good. Mine hides an insult in every Thursday grid. Seven across, six letters, EX-LOVER: the answer is SOMEONE.
The challenge
Someone. That is either cruel or the kindest thing printed in a newspaper.
Both, if you solve it in pen. Step on my foot again and I will put you in the Sunday edition.
I have a drawer of keys to doors I cannot place. Each labelled with a guess. You could help me guess.
Bring the drawer. I will bring a pencil, and we will see which of us is humbled first.
The decision
I would like that. I think the answer is me.
Eleven letters, starts with a Q. Ask me again at the next lesson.
Next lesson, then. I will bring the drawer and leave my pride at the door.
Bring a pen too. I intend to be wrong in public.

First impressions

Ending: A second date
Who leaves the date first? They leave together
The box score
How this was scored
A second date: chemistry 71 and attraction 55 carried it (a date played for genuine chemistry counts chemistry most). Endings read where the numbers finished, not how far they moved. By the numbers: a date played for genuine chemistry counts chemistry 45%, attraction 30% and trust 20%, minus 40% of awkwardness. This one came out +13.8 against an ordinary date: friends needs +11.0, a second date +16.0. Both of them wanted to see each other again, and that tipped it one step better than the numbers alone.
“I intend to be wrong in public.”

Guess the dealbreaker
Corvin Hasp's real dealbreaker was people who say literally when they mean figuratively. You didn't guess this one.
You didn't predict this one.
