“Yes, yes, very exciting. The young
man who delivered it was very handsome, very big, great body, make good
husband.” She clapped her hands like a hyperactive child while I resisted the
urge to clap my hands over her ears in a swift judo chop.
I
didn’t want a husband, least of all one who delivered letters reeking of Brut
33.
Choosing
silence as the best defense against Anjali at her matchmaking worst, I tore
open the envelope and reeled back as the overpowering stench shot straight up
my nostrils. Even if this guy was Will Shakespeare and Dan Brown rolled into
one, I couldn’t tolerate longer than a quick scan of his prose before I fainted
from the fumes.

Fabulous six. I felt her irritation completely, and in fact had a complete flashback to smelly magazines of my youth.
ReplyDeleteLOL Brut 33 - wow, haven't smelled that in a while! Great six, Nicola!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Yeah, that odor would certainly knock me over! Nice six.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Love Brut 33, but some men do think they need to bathe and shower in it. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, and Anjali should've mentioned "Fair skinned", because that apparently makes the perfect prospect, well, perfect. :)
