WHEN Zara Patel, hopeful girlfriend of an A-list movie star, entered Peter
Patterson’s Extreme Paintball Adventure for her cousin’s bachelorbachelorette party, there was a spring in her step, a song on her lips, a cake in
her hands, and a celebrity autograph on her arm. Nothing could spoil her
good mood, not even the high-pitched shriek of Parvati Chopra, her
roommate and long-suffering best friend.
“What happened to your dress? Stacy is going to kill you!”
On a scale of disasters, a stained dress was hardly cause for alarm even if
Stacy Jones, the bride’s Maid of Horror, did tend to overreact. In the last six
months alone, Zara had lost two jobs, three boyfriends, and four tires—stolen
off her Caribbean Blue Chevy Spark when she’d been arguing a case in court.
She’d also been rejected five times from the Hamilton app, which meant it
would be at least another year before she could even try to get discount
tickets to see her favorite Broadway musical of all time.
“Chad Wandsworth signed my arm!” Zara turned to the side to better
display the bold strokes of the movie star’s name etched in black Sharpie on
her biceps. “I’m never going to wash again.”
“I’m more interested in that stain.” An ER doctor at San Francisco
General Hospital, Parvati liked to drill down to the facts as quickly as

bodice of Zara’s hot pink ’80s-style explosion of a dress adorned with taffeta,
tulle, bows, sequins, ruffles, and sleeves puffed so high they obscured Zara’s
peripheral vision. “It’ll be awesome,” Stacy had said when she’d informed
the bride’s friends that they would be wearing secondhand bridesmaid’s
dresses for the paintball game. Zara wasn’t convinced that a cleavage-baring
minidress was the best attire for playing paintball in the middle of a forest,
but she adored her cousin Tarun and his bride-to-be, Maria Gonzales, so
she’d said “yes” to the dress and handed over her five dollars for the thrift
store special.
“I was in an ice cream shop. You know I have no self-control when it
comes to anything ice cream.” She gave a resigned shrug. “I had a milkshake
in one hand and the cake in the other when Chad—we’re on a first-name
basis now—walked in. He’s in entertainment. I want to get into the business.
I figured I should give him my card in case he ever finds himself in need of
an attorney. I put the milkshake on the cake box, reached into my purse,
and . . .”
“I can see what happened.” Parvati sighed so loudly she startled a couple
walking past. “I should have known the temptation would be too much. You
couldn’t just go in and buy the cake.”
“Thank goodness for that,” Zara retorted. “And for the fact my dress is
standout hideous. Chad would have walked right past me. Instead, being a
gentleman, he stopped to help me.” She shot an envious gaze at Parvati’s sky
blue gown. With seven tiers of ruffles, puffed sleeves, and a hoop skirt, she
