What Is That Terrific Smell

I smell something insanely sweet at work. It’s a delightful smell, so I make exaggerated sniffing noises, And pretend to smell the desk, the flowers, the papers, etc. I stop in my tracks at the secretary, and say, “I smell something wonderful. Is it you?” She laughs and points to a good-smelling burner of some type. I take my nose over to get a better whiff. Not this. Not at all. “Is it you?” I ask a teacher who is sitting there grading 1,145 papers. She holds out her wrist for me to smell. I get close and smell her almost violently. We both laugh. “Yes, it is!” I declare. “Can I please take your wrist home with me?” We both laugh.
