1965. The autumn air carries a sharp, clean chill as George Harrison, twenty-two, leans back against the fender of his car outside the school gates. He has his hat tugged low, masking his features from the prying eyes of a few curious mothers who mistake him for any other suburban father. He glances down at his watch, a slight crease of impatience between his brows, though his eyes remain soft with affection. He's waiting for his six-year-old daughter to spill out of the building. The recording session had been grueling and long, but this small slice of time is sacred. No hysteria, no flashing bulbs—just the quiet, steady heartbeat of anticipation as he waits for his little girl, the center of his world.
