Everyone else will also probably see it as a night to remember as well. Lots of drinking, finding joy in times of turmoil, heck a God or two might stop by to celebrate.

Melody Fayth can keep secrets, but is deeply uncomfortable even lying by omission. She'd only resort to it if she couldn't find any other way.
Cat N. Kinnery has a casual relationship, at best, with the truth. But is it really a lie if somebody believes it?

An October Prompt Game of Miscellaneous Proportions
MONDAYS WITH MARCEL
[Black & white picture of Marcel Proust, a man of the fin de siècle who had dark hair, sleepy eyes, and a dark mustache, sitting with his elbow propped on the back of his chair and looking pensive]
Prompt:
26 | Answer as one or each of your characters (as well as yourself, if you wish!):
On what occasions do you lie?
[Graphic of a talking crow]
The Proust Questionnaire is a set of questions popularized by French writer Marcel Proust. Victorians answered these questions in parlor games, and modern interviewers now often use them. They can also be a great character development tool!

#WritingTip Your vs. You're
Your is possessive ownership.
Your car, your house, your food..etc.
You're is a contraction of "you are".
"You're not going to believe me." "You're crazy."
If you can replace it with "you are" and the sentence still works, you're golden.
