No need to apologize, I love it when someone enjoys the story. That's the whole point I think. I decided not to have Carmen and Aiden get together because it just didn't seem right. She doesn't feel that way about him, and while she cares deeply for him, she just isn't in love with him romantically. Sometimes people are just friends. And yes, I love odor content. Its the big through line on all my stories. You'll be hard pressed to find a story I write without a hearty amount of odor.

Also, Carmen is a blonde, but in this case the carpet simply doesn't match the drapes ;) Is that still a thing people say? Seems unlikely. 

Thanks for reading!!
