Or do you intermesh them? Do you pull each hand back a little while the other hand plays its D# E ?

To play the LH E I keep the LH 1 on the end of the key and slide it toward me while the RH 1 slides in from the right. The temptation is to play the whole thing with the RH, but I'm getting used to it.
