I move back to New York to move in with my boyfriend, Nick Flynn, and his girlfriend who may also be my girlfriend. I'm unpacking boxes, pots and pans, things my grandmother owned long ago. I mention just leaving a year ago, now I'm back, what a waste of time. Nick Flynn and my girlfriend wander around the house with other writers. She's agitated. She shows me her books. The books Nick gave her. He's reprimanded her for something. Inside the books are his love notes to her. They look similar to his love notes to me. I become angry, but let go of the anger pretty quickly. He told me I was the only one he had written to in this way. I shut the book and tell his/my girlfriend that I'm going to have a vagina tattooed onto my face.
