It didn’t smell of anything

“My neighbor, a lovely old lady that could have lived during the period of Downton Abby,
gave me an address of a man whom she believed would be a suitable lover for me, elegantly handing me a note,
she smiled and said “You will enjoy his smell” Over the course of 1 month, 3 weeks and 22 days, I wrote to him, well, 
a lot, or few letters, just a few. He never replied. Nothing…
After the last letter, 2 weeks passed in silence.
Still, the hunger remained, not for his touch, but for the reason behind his absence.
In the quiet of my impatience, I decided to write him a final letter with the simple question
“Why didn’t you write to me? A few days later, to my surprise, I received a letter from him:
“Dear Luca, I’m working on a dramatic entrance”.
I pressed the paper to my nose. It didn’t smell of anything.” ”
