The scent of Omega
Ryse looked away, uncomfortable.
“Except Nigel didn’t recognize me…” she murmured. A silence fell.
Then, Mrs. Harris continued gently:
“When you were little… he liked your scent.” “…” Ryse looked up, stunned.
“What?” A faint, nostalgic smile played on Mrs. Harris’s lips.
“You might not remember, but Nigel spent all his time with you. He almost thought of you as a little sister. When your body first started releasing pheromones, he was curious, intrigued. He found your scent comforting.” Ryse froze, unable to say anything.
