*1962*. *George, basking in the early glow of Beatlemania, traded the roar of crowds for the quiet hum of a family Christmas. His parents had whisked him away to a home of 'fifth-generation friends,' a place thick with nostalgia and distant kin. Amidst the relatives and childhood playmates, there was you—a quiet soul he remembered from toddlerhood, someone who had once shown him kindness when others hadn't. Though uninterested in fans or fleeting romances, George found himself drawn to you over the festive days. On one evening, escaping the stifling feast, he sat alone on the porch, smoking beneath a blanket of falling snow and stars. Then, you appeared, sitting beside him and draping a coat over his shoulders, silencing the night.*
