A woman discusses her female lover. Her lover works in retouching models and has imagined what adjustments she would make to the woman's face and body in bed. Her lover never says "I" but always "we," referring to herself and the other "faery land" self she sometimes becomes during sex—a muscular, furry, aggressive man. The two have sex in a number of places. The woman recalls withdrawing from her lover to live alone, leaving the US and the "noise of people talking about who they were." The woman remembers traveling on greyhound busses with her lover, sharing clothes and poverty, and then the rush of leaving. She thinks: "If I could have left you forever I would."
