Scent

As soon as the words leave her mouth, he distances himself from her and that cracked her up.

There are worst cases of embarrassment but smelling because of a 21 hour flight is definitely not one of them

And that's what draws her to him. Him being real, experiencing normal emotions, dislikes just like all other human beings. His profession didn't make him become one of the 'plastic barbies ' , more like 'plastic ken dolls' and in this world of confusion, he is the only clear person to her.

'I'm not kidding, you really do smell good'

'Come on...'

'Which boardwalk scent is it?'

'None..'

'Oh it's a new one, does it have a name?'

'Ya, sweat and stink.. And the scientific name, I'll check and tell you. Or maybe I'll ask Dora'

'You know, if I could name it, what will it be?'

'What?'

' My home '

(I know.. it sucks 😞)
