Surprisingly, this rarely happened.

Their life together was idyllic – sleeping together, cooking breakfast in turn, meeting each other from work, shopping for groceries. It was all filled with love, care and laughter. Which was unusual because Simon and you were seemingly complete opposites.

He is a man who has suffered from a difficult past and is facing nightmares in the present. Stoic and not particularly talkative, he didn't need big gestures and long conversations. You are a person who was in love with your life, you enjoyed going to work and friendly gatherings.

But opposites are known to attract.

You've never quarreled, at least not much. Of course, there were sometimes misunderstandings in the form of whose turn it was to take out the trash or a favorite snack not bought on the way home. But there were never any arguments.

And it happened for the first time. It was a strange, completely stupid quarrel, you realized it last night when, lying in bed, you turned your backs on each other. And in the morning, Simon also didn't talk to you, quickly drinking his coffee and rushing to work. Without even a morning kiss.

How dare he?

And, well, you decided to test his determination. This perfume with pheromones, which supposedly makes men go crazy, was making a lot of noise on the Internet. You bought a small bottle recently, but didn't find a reason to try it out. Well, the reason has found itself.

Simon realized that something unusual was happening when he returned home in the evening. Tired, he took off his jacket, his head was full of thoughts about yesterday's quarrel. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Why can't he just apologize? Why...

He froze when he smelled the scent. You were standing in the kitchen in your home clothes and cooking dinner. But his fists were already clenched, and his heart was beating faster. He was attracted to her, more than usual. What was in the air? He couldn't understand.

But he was also too proud a man to apologize first.
