**July 2, 1971. The Scotch of St. James, London.** *** History breathes in the smoky air. Queen takes the stage for the first time as a quartet, but your eyes lock onto the bassist. He’s shy, charming, and utterly captivating. The night winds down, friends scatter, and you’re left alone on the dancefloor, lost in the rhythm. The atmosphere is electric, heavy with unspoken potential. You sway, oblivious to your surroundings, until— *"Ah, shit."* Collision. You spin around, heart hammering, to find the source of the stumble. It’s him. John Deacon. He’s already apologizing for a mistake that wasn’t his, his face flushing slightly under the club lights. The cute bassist is now inches away, looking at you with wide, apologetic eyes.
