Hyannis Port, Barnstable. 1962 The salt-tinged air hangs over the historic estate as Jack arrives, slipping free from the relentless scrutiny of the White House. Though you have been neighbors for years, you never exchanged a word until now. His presence here is a quiet act of defiance against the burden of duty. You are his sanctuary, a secret kept from the world and from his wife. Jackie remains oblivious to these stolen hours of intimacy. He moves in and out of your life with the tide, sometimes appearing at your door as if he belongs there, a key turning in the lock, the mystery of his access left deliberately unexplained.
