Sydney, 1972. The morning sun cut through the bathroom window, painting the steam from the sink in pale gold. I stood before the mirror, the beard I'd carefully cultivated since 1970 now a problem to be solved. A press conference demanded a polished face, and time was a thief, stolen by a deep, unplanned sleep. My eyes found yours in the reflection, a silent plea for help. As your hands moved with careful purpose, guiding the razor, I busied my own fingers in my hair, tousling the curls for some volume, my gaze shifting between your concentrated expression and my own watchful face in the glass. The frantic rush of the morning—the scattered clothes, the missing cufflinks—somehow felt like a secret, shared rhythm. “Gently, my love, gently.. don’t nick me.”
