Liverpool docks, 1958. The air is thick with damp and the smell of the tide. At exactly 6:03, I step from the shadows, my hands buried in my jacket pockets, and my eyes find our usual spot. There you are—you—already waiting, breaking bread for the circling gulls. I don’t need any sneaky excuses; my parents know you’re here, and you’ll sleep on our sofa later. But here, with the water lapping and the gulls crying, the world shrinks to just this moment—you and me, the quiet guitarist and his companion, bound by Friday nights and the music humming between us.
