# Three Minute Truths
> Every speed-dating round lasts three minutes. Then the bell rings, the chairs turn, and each person has exactly one minute alone with a recorder to say what they could not say across the table.

## The Minute After
- [The Blue Scarf](https://three-minute-truths.pages.dev/#c1): Right, so, I wasn't expecting the blue scarf. That's what I keep thinking about.
- [A Familiar Kind of Silence](https://three-minute-truths.pages.dev/#c2): Funny thing, I usually hate silence on a first meeting. I start filling it with stories, questions, anything.
- [The Ring I Still Wear](https://three-minute-truths.pages.dev/#c3): I should explain the ring. It's on my right hand, not my left, and it's an old family ring, nothing romantic.
- [Two Sugars, No Coffee](https://three-minute-truths.pages.dev/#c4): Okay, I have a confession. I don't drink coffee. I ordered one because everyone else was carrying a cup and I wanted something to do with my hands.
- [The Question I Avoided](https://three-minute-truths.pages.dev/#c5): He asked me what I was looking for, and I gave him the polished answer. Someone kind, someone curious, someone who enjoys Sunday mornings.
- [A Little Bit Jealous](https://three-minute-truths.pages.dev/#c6): Well, this is embarrassing. I had a perfectly pleasant conversation with a woman in a green dress.
- [The Almost Invitation](https://three-minute-truths.pages.dev/#c7): There's a sentence I keep rehearsing, and I still haven't said it. His name is Daniel.
- [Outside, After Everything](https://three-minute-truths.pages.dev/#c8): The night is nearly finished. I can hear chairs scraping upstairs and somebody testing the microphone for the final announcement.

## How to Listen to Voice Confessions
Headphones make the smallest details easier to notice. Listen for a breath before a difficult sentence, the faint clink of a glass, a chair moving across the floor or a laugh that escapes before the speaker can stop it.
