"Send only good news in perfumed letters."

Vonnie opened the envelope; the fragrance of the paper met her nose and danced sweetly in her nostrils. The smell of roses lovingly filled the room.

She read the enclosed letter:
"By the time you read this, I'll be miles away...I'm not coming  back.
I wasn't happy with you and I'm determined to be! Money is in the safe-
TAKE IT ALL! It means nothing to me! 
Don't try to contact us...I mean, me.
Good-bye."

Vonnie cringed. Now the smell of roses hung a perfumy noose around her neck. Damn that smell......
