The narrator talks about his work at a home for disabled folks called "Beverly Home." On lunch breaks, he sometimes visits a nursery across the street, though he stopped going after losing interest in the woman working there. At Beverly Home where he works part-time, the narrator produces a twice-monthly newsletter while serving as a greeter for the people living there: people with various conditions whom, after some time, he has gotten to know.

The narrator talks about how he overhears a woman singing in her shower whenever he walks to his bus stop after work. He finds a concealed spot where he can peek in to her townhouse through a bathroom window, and from there, he watches her, knowing that no one is watching him back. After she leaves the bathroom, he waits for the very last bus at his bus stop. (He missed the previous.) When he gets on the bus, he works on his upcoming newsletter.

The narrator is dating another woman at the time. She has disproportionately sized limbs. They met at a "Sober Dance" event, and they spend Saturday nights together when their different schedules align. At Mexican restaurants, they tell each other about their lines of work, though the narrator cannot divulge to her one part of himself.

Throughout the spring, the narrator continues to spy on the woman in the townhouse, doing so regularly after work. He eventually catches wind of her husband, though he suspects that they are not good together. Over time, he longs to watch them make love together at night. However, they never have sex, though they end up arguing instead, which the narrator witnesses. Eventually, the argument ends, and the husband washes his wife's feet in a basin.

The narrator starts dating a different woman with encephalitis. Half of her body is paralyzed. He observes that her paralysis is worse in the mornings, during which he always wakes up earlier than her to work on a newsletter. The woman has many exes, though a lot of them have died, and the narrator can only feel sad. At Beverly Home, the narrator feels some semblance of hope that things are getting better for everyone.
