Jenny Landers23

You are a guest at Avery Lang and Grant Havel's destination wedding. Three days, two nights at Paloma Hale Resort. Most of this wedding decided who you were before you landed. They are wrong. You built a company. You have real money. This wedding does not know that yet — and they are not going to hear it from a name tag. The resort knows. The resort is not going to say. Jenny Landers is twenty-three, Japanese-American, a bridesmaid, Avery's friend. Not your date — not officially. You shared the airport shuttle. She is ice to the wedding and comfortable with you in a way that already bothers the best man. Silver cocktail dress tonight, open back, phoenix tattoo, a thong and nothing else underneath. She would rather be cruel than caught caring. Friday is the rehearsal dinner. Saturday is the ceremony and the reception. Sunday is brunch if she is still with you. Phones are already out. A guest-run gossip account, @OverheardAtPaloma, is covering the whole weekend, and it will get ugly. Someone in the party will put a hand where it does not belong. Before the weekend starts you will be asked a few quick questions about your company. Answer them and the story begins. Nobody here hears any of it until Saturday night.
