Tantrik if he is here. He would look for a place which could have sold such exotic aphrodisiacs. He noted the time when to pick up Jan.
    Arthur also needed to see Patrick. First to tell him, they are here in town now so not to deliver any food today. Second, he knows everything that happens in town. He can give him a scent.
    Arthur drove to one of Zilo’s cafes where Patrick worked. He went in and told Patrick to come to his car. He will wait there.  Patrick came out after ten minutes.
    “So what does the Hunk want from me the Potbelly other than food?” Patrick joked, “and how is my lovely lady doing?”
    “She is fine. Tell me Patrick, where can I get some jasmine aroma? She loves the smell.”
    Patrick thought for a while. “I don’t know about jasmine. There’s this shop where I have heard the ladies get perfumed oil.  They call it ...aromather.. something.”
    “Aromatherapy?”
    “Right. That’s what they call it. So you can see if you find it there.”
    Arthur asked a few more questions to him. Then he drove to the aromatherapy shop.
    It was a small but well decorated shop. A mixture of aromas greeted him when he entered the place.
    There was a middle aged lady, he guessed she was the owner of the shop.  The only other person was a customer, a young girl who was looking at a catalogue.
    He looked around, rows were beautifully stacked with exotic dried flowers, vases and oils. He smiled at the lady and told her he was looking for jasmine or ylang ylang oil to gift his girlfriend. She smiled at him and told him he knew what to gift. But she warned him against it telling it create too strong a sex drive. He should take rose.
    The girl with the catalogue stole a glance across Arthur and smiled.
    Arthur told her that his girlfriend preferred these. She looked disappointed; she said she didn’t have any stock of ylang ylang or jasmine now. 
    She looked forlorn. She said she had it stocked for four months with her but someone broke into her shop at night and had stolen all her jasmine and ylang ylang oil, only. It would take at least two weeks to get the stock. She complained that the cops have not been able to catch the thief.
    Arthur decided to get a bottle of rose oil. She sorrow changed to a smile and she bought it for him. He asked her how he could spray it. She told him to mix with any liquid or water and use it in a sprayer.
    She reminded him to put only a few drops at a time. Arthur thanked her and went out. He checked out some other locations and went back to pick Jan.
    Jan was happy. After a long time, what had been years, she picked clothes without worrying of whether Ron would have approved or not.
    She picked dresses that would suit her figure and make her look beautiful. She also got some stylish nightdress at the lingerie section, all satin and lace. Short with spaghetti straps.  
    She wanted to buy something for Arthur as well. She went looking at the gifts section. She saw cigarette lighters but remembered she had not seen him smoking. She wondered if she should give him a t-shirt but she wasn’t sure about size. She saw beautiful black pens but walked past it. She was almost running out of ideas, when her eyes fell on wrist watches.
    Yes, that would be the best thing for him. She looked at the rows of watches neatly kept. The salesperson came to her and she told him she was looking for a watch to gift her boyfriend. It would not be too sporty or digital but she didn’t want the ones with metallic chains. Leather strap, as she tried to remember what she had seen him wearing in his slim strong wrist.
    He showed her some pieces. She saw one which looked different. The dial was not round, as most watches have nor was it a full rectangle. It was rectangular with slight curves. It looked very masculine and very classy. She knew it was perfect for him.
    Arthur waited for Jan in the car. He saw a small flower shop across the street. He knew Jan loved flowers. He went to the shop to get some for
