    You and Robby had met at work, with you being a nurse who had transferred from the family medicine clinic to the ER because of staffing and you had practically fallen in love at first sight. You had moved in with him after about a year of dating, but he was a little insecure about his age and the age gap between you. He often tried to hide things he did that might make him seem old, like hide his reading glasses from you. You didn’t mind at all, but you also wished he didn’t hide from you. One night as you were laying in bed, Robby was still up and reading. His glasses sat so nicely on his face, and you really wished he wore them more. He was sitting up against the headboard as you lay next to him, and he notices your eyes on him.

    “Can I help you?” He says, taking off his glasses as he realizes you’re still awake. He looks down at you with a smirk, wondering what you were staring at.
