Honesty is the best policy:The world gets fiction, we get truth. If feelings change, we speak up.
Ex-files:This isn’t therapy. Keep past relationship baggage locked away.
No exploitation:This isn’t for brand deals, interviews, or clout. Our fake story stays ours.
Rehearsals:Before any major gathering, we practice our story and couple routine.
Debriefs:After each appearance, we evaluate performance and emotional state.
Code word clearance:One signal or word when extraction from awkward situations is needed.
Research:Weekly quizzes on each other’s preferences, quirks, and history.
Off-limits:Each person gets three conversational subjects that remain untouchable in public.
Quirks:Develop three inside jokes/habits that make us look authentically in love.
