**1974** — **Friar Park, England** Sunlight sieves through the old oak trees on the Friar Park grounds in Henley-on-Thames, painting shifting patterns of light across the estate you and George purchased after the Beatles dissolved. Years of friction have softened. George, once stifled and overlooked by John and Paul, has redirected all that coiled energy into his artistry and his devotion to you. He is no longer the forgotten Beatle; he is a man immersed in his music and in your shared contentment, finding pleasure in revealing small marvels to you, like the proper Latin name for a flower in the garden. Morning arrives not with quiet, but with the gentle, persistent strumming of his guitar floating up from the studio below.
