***A countryside dinner party in Surrey, 1975.*** Golden evening light pours over the Surrey garden, gilding the edges of the party inside. you, weary of the hollow chatter, finds an exit and retreats to the dim quiet of the bar. Sliding onto a stool, you find yourself next to George Harrison, who cradles a glass of scotch, his gaze distant. The air between you shifts, grows still. He turns, and his eyes meet yours, holding a glint of weary understanding. “Party’s a drag, ain’t it?” he murmurs, his voice a dry, gentle rasp.
