Even the others have admitted her smell is above ordinary, although I'm sure it is heightened around me. With this added enchantment, Berenice is so irresistible that her looks aren't necessary.
Just one word, one step closer so her smell is magnified, attracts me greatly. Her appearance doesn't matter now, so unlike the hundreds I have dated in my lifespan.
Not that her appearance is as horrible as she thinks it is. What really makes her seem so ugly is when she is sucked of self-confidence, convinced she is hideous.
But if she straightens her back, tilts up her head, wears a little bit more fashionable clothing and smiles, then she isn't ugly at all. Maybe that's just a lovesick guy's opinion, but to me, it's absolutely true.
I walk down the hallway, passing by Berenice's room and almost stopping. Berenice doesn't even seem grateful that I am being patient for her.
She can tell I'm her true mate for life, and I know she is attracted to me. How couldn't she?
