Better The Devil You Know / Blind Date 7 of 31 Suzi needs a date. Well actually, based on the bet she just made with her two best friends, she needs thirty-one dates. Thirty one blind dates to be exact. Hoping this to be Lucky Number 7, Suzi heads off to meet the very cool Ms. Dante, who's sporting an inverted crucifix earring and a Stranger Things button. The most Suzi was expecting was to not spill passata down her white vintage dress, but the mysterious Ms. Dante has a claim to fame which is either going to make for a very interesting evening, or perhaps become the weirdest date Suzi has ever been on. *** This one-shot is part of the 31 Blind Dates anthology from more than two dozen Wattpad writers including members of the Stars program, published authors, Ambassadors and Wattys winners. At the end of each story, you will find the link to the next chapter in the collection.
