Femininity and Fabric Softener

And there it was. Light first. Then almost visible fresh air making green strands through the fug. Cassie was rolling the window down, ... nose and lungs sniffing out the newness. She knew fine what she was doing was learned behaviour, more to do with fabric softener commercials than anything else but she let herself do it anyway. They always looked so happy on tv. And so would she.
