Were going, Mimi called out to her mother in the familys grocery store next to her house. This was her first date, and Robert Rovere had just arrived to take her to a dance. She could hardly believe it was happening. During the long wait she had wondered again and again what to wear, finally putting on her favorite blouse. Now at last Robert was here. He looked beautiful to her. His hair was neatly combed and he wore a yellow sweater she hadnt seen before. Mimi felt wonderful.
As they stepped out of the door, Mimis mother popped out of the store and said hello to Robert. Then she put a package wrapped in white paper into Mimis hand.
Limburger cheese for Sally Thompson, Mimi. We got a case of imported Limburger in today. I promised Sally youd deliver it tonight.
Tonight! Mimi echoed, staring down at the cheese. Why not tomorrow?
Sorry, but I promised Sally, her mother said. Well, have fun, you two.
Oh well, Robert, lets go, she said.
Her first date ever, her first date with Robert Rovere, and she was stuck with a large, smelly, messy package of cheese! She tried to forget it. Here I am, she said to herself, going to a dance with Robert Rovere. She glanced up at him.
That cheese smells, he said.
She held the cheese in the hand farthest from him, but the smell seemed to be crawling up her arm.
They turned onto Montcalm Street. Mimi didnt know the house number, but she thought shed recognize the house because shed passed there once before. Oh, here it is. She rang the bell but nobody answered. Then she noticed that the name under the bell wasnt Thompson. She had come to the wrong house. Oh, how embarrassing, she thought. She dropped the cheese into her coat pocket and rejoined Robert.
Wrong house, she said. I was sure she lived there.
What do we do now? Robert asked.
Mimi bit her lip. She couldnt bring the cheese home again now. It would just have to go to the dance with her. Lets go, she said. She was so miserable she couldnt think of anything else to say, and she and Robert walked the rest of the way in a silence as thick as the bad smell of the cheese.
When they arrived at the dance, the place was full of people and there was no room to hang their coats. Mimi wanted to wash her hands, but Robert led her straight onto the dance floor. Mimi noticed that Robert smelled sweet, like lily of the valley. She smelled of Limburger cheese.
Mimi danced with all her heart. Roberts eyes were closed, probably trying to forget her and her smell, she thought.
