We were sitting
cozy on the couch
watching TV
'What's that smell?'
'What smell?'
I sniff ostentatiously while trying to remember
if I took my shower this morning or if it is last night I am remembering.
'It's kind of
weird.'
'Weird how?'
(
Did I remember to put on deodorant? I
struggle to recall.)
'
Weird how? Bad?'
Please, not bad.
'No, not bad. It's just
different. Like,
spicy.'
'Spicy? Like
chili or something?'
'No,
spicy like
exotic, I meant'
'My
perfume?'
I stick my
wrist virtually up his nostrils.
'Yeah, that's it. Is it new?'
'No, I've only been wearing this one
for about a year'
'Oh'
MEN!
