Does this smell ok to you?

“Does this smell OK to you?” Cheryl asked her mother as she was walking down the hallway. She had just bought a new perfume for her first date and was shaking with nerves about what he would think of her.
“It’s fine, Hon. Stop worrying or you won’t have any fun!”
There was no way Cheryl could stop worrying. She just would have to sacrifice having fun on this outing. She just had to make a good impression.
His name was Rob and she had met him in her English class at school. He was perfect. He had physical sports talent, brains, and was knee-weakeningly adorable. She was stunned when he asked me out.
Cheryl knew that she was pretty but had never been asked out before. She didn’t know how to act.
They were going out to dinner at a swanky cafe downtown called the ‘Vanilla Bean.’
“Ready to go sweets?”, her mom asked her and they departed.
Cheryl’s heart took a leap when she saw Rob standing outside of the cafe. She reluctantly got out of the car and paused for a second while her mom drove off.
