We met through our mutual friend, Trevor. Trevor was one of Brett's childhood friends and I dated Trevor for 3 and a half years, but had never met Brett. We met sometime in the summer of 2010, while I would drop off Trevor to the Hatch house to play bloodbowl. The first thing Brett remembers about me is a hilarious misimpression: he saw smoke in the little white egg timer car and the arm with the tattoo. He abstracted in his head that I was a tattooed smoker!
We met more formally at Sneha's Indian Restaurant in Palo Alto. Trevor and I were no longer dating and our friendship works well. He had been bugging me to meet his childhood friend, Brett. He said I would like him best out of all his friends and that we'd be perfect together. I didn't really like the idea of being set-up, so I ignored Trevor for a while. One night I decided it would be fun to go to an indian restaurant in a carpool and meet new people.
Trevor and I drove to meet the Hatches in Scotts Valley. I shook hands with Ethan, Brett, and James and then we all piled in their mom's van and went. I don't remember much of Brett that night; I was still on the solitary side at the time, before my acting-class-epiphany summer. After that we met sparingly until I started dating someone elseand incidentally saw Brett at the Ugly Mug one day. For the first time I got the vibe that he viewed me separately from Trevor, like I wasn't just that friend of Trevor'. He remembered my name was Tatiana.
