"The truth is, I used to wear glasses before." I confess. "But that was a long time ago. B_before I started dating Rowan. After I met him, he talked me into using contacts instead of glasses. He said I looked ugly in glasses."
"He said it like that? That you look ugly in glasses."
"Not exactly like that." I shrug with a forced smile, "He just explained to me that he was sometimes embarrassed to introduce me to his friends because they all usually taunted him for dating a girl with four eyes. And that I'd be better off without the glasses. 'You'll look more presentable' we're his exact words."
I hear him mumble some words and at first I can't decipher what he had said, but the seconds later, my brain registers his words, "scum-of-a-bitch." That's the first time I've heard him curse out loud. I haven't heard that expression before either.
