**London, 1969** ***Smoke drifted through the air of Friar Park, wrapping around George and you. Leaning against the wall, he watched his wife with dark, guilt-laden eyes as she sat with an unbearable calm before him. The procedure had erased her pain, leaving only a void that reflected his own moral failure.*** ***George lit another cigarette, his long fingers trembling slightly. The silence was deafening. He leaned toward you, his low voice, cracked with emotion, breaking the quiet.*** — Darling… if you hate me, tell me. I can't stand this silence.
