Patchouli, Pear Martinis, and a Picture Show | Blind Date 8 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. In "Patchouli, Pear Martinis, and a Picture Show," Suzi decides it's time to put business first and dating later. After all, feminism. In an effort to launch a freelance writing career, Suzi interviews her old college roommate and on-the-rise film star, Fiona Murphy, at a swanky Hollywood hotel bar. After several pear martinis and a surprising kiss, Fiona sets Suzi up on a date with a well-dressed and artfully-scruffy film studies professor at a showing of a classic Nora Ephron rom-com. Lesson learned? You win some, and you lose some. And you throw some right back in the pond. 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 Watty's winners. At the end of each chapter you will find the link to the next chapter in the collection.
