Brunch with Archbold and Chaudhry

Authors and writers often research and explore other authors and writers work, whether it be to see other writing styles, get inspiration, or just out of pure curiosity. Lakshmi Chaudhry was doing just that and came across an article, “The Death of Pretty” by Pat Archbold. She was very intrigued. She thought how could the opposite sex write about the other and be so spot on? It sparked a flame in her and knew wanted to some how meet up with Archbold and discuss their views over dinner. So Chaudhry writes Archbold and request to meet over coffee or brunch. Archbold agrees and they plan to meet up the next day at a local diner around 11ish. The next day Chaudhry arrives at the diner early and grabs a booth for two. She orders her self a hot coffee and as soon as she does Archbold walks in. They greet each other and introduce themselves and ranting on about how they enjoy each others work. They both take their seats and the waiter comes back and takes both of their orders. Chaudhry orders sunny side up eggs with hash browns and buttered wheat toast and Archbold orders French toast with bacon. Chaudhry brings up Archbolds work and tells him how fascinated she was with his article. She agrees on his opinions about womens projected innocence and how mens truly only prefer hotness over pretty and Archbold also agrees with Chaudhry’s work as well. He said however the title might be a tab bit miss leading at first he said he felt offended but once he started actually reading the article he understood what she meant by the alarming title. They both thought it was actually very quite ironic how they both have written articles about the opposite sex and how they both agreed on its content. They had a long pleasant conversation and brunch for about almost two hours and then decided to maybe meet again for brunch one day. They exchanged contact information. They enjoyed each others company and look forward to seeing each others work in the future.
