Tool of the Trade (2011)
“I wouldn’t know. I was glad for the strong painkillers.
For weeks we were virtual prisoners at 26 Hidalgo, claustrated in a set of rooms that had no mirrors. Of course we could see each other, and lied about what we saw.
It was doubly painful, watching Nick agonize through the surgical procedures and also watching his face disappear, the man I’ve loved for more than half my life. I think of myself as practical rather than romantic. But no one is completely one or the other, I guess.
His chin au...gmentation gave me the shudders. They make a long incision in the gum, between front teeth and lower lip, and slide a piece of plastic down over your chinbone. It gave him a Kirk Douglas profile. I’d just started getting used to his chin, after all these years of seeing hair. Now I have twice as much chin to get used to.
Both of us temporarily got bright-red bloody sclera (the “whites” of the eyes) from the eyelifts, and since Nick couldn’t wear contacts after the operation, they brought him a pair of eyeglasses.MoreLess
