Garlic breath
“Kiss me,” she said.
He wasn’t sure. He could smell the garlic from here, and it wasn’t pretty.
“I have an idea,” he said, leaning away. “How about we whip up some mint milkshakes?” It was a good idea, but she wasn’t biting.
“I’m fuuuuuull,” she pouted. The garlic rolled by him as she whined the word, an invisible tsunami that hit him with nearly physical force. It was all he could do to keep himself upright.
“I can’t,” he murmured. “I just can’t.”
“What?”
“I SAID I CAN’T,” he cried out desperately. “I’m sorry! You’re just too garlicky!”
Her warm, cozy expression shattered. “What?”
“I’m so sorry! I can’t be in this room with you any more!”
He ran like the hounds of hell were after him, burst out the door, stumbled down the stairs, and zoomed away in his car.
She leaned back in the couch, nonplussed. She never got a reaction like that from a man. Garlic odor? What an odd way for his fears to manifest.
She grabbed her phone and sent a group text to her coven.
Sorry gals. He was a sensitive, sensed something wrong and ran. I’ll get us a fresh one tomorrow night, I promise.
Fresh Hell 
My I suggest a little less garlic next time – just a subtle hint at first ….

I can’t get behind this. The way to fix it is with more garlic!!!
My Romanian friend makes some serious garlic dishes. We all joke that our garlic tolerance is through the roof.

Garlic is good. My Vietnam vet noted that most Vietnamese ate a lot of it…effective defense against mosquitoes in a jungle.
Purifies blood. Kills parasites. Destroys viruses & bacteria.
Keeps away vampires? Doesn’t work on werewolves… 🤔

Garlic is amazing and delicious.
If I’d have been thinking, I would have reversed roles and had the witch repelled by the garlic, but I guess that’s a tired old trope anyway.

Nice story! I hate it when people smell and run, though. Happens to me all the time. Even on the internet. I’m going to need to brush my teeth once again this year.
