Lesbian sex near the beach. That almost sums it up, but not quite.

The scene opens on a lonely woman, remembering her husband in many
flowery metaphors. (Not profane, but flowery: "His empty promises
stretched like the sea.")

As she sits, gazing out at the ocean, a woman appears to seduce her.
After token resistance, they do the deed and her new lover must leave
again.

The writing in this piece was a little too flowery for my tastes. The
plot, although a bit odd, served our purposes well enough. If you're
up for sex with spiritual manifestations and don't mind overly worded
phrases, this is worth a read.
