*The living room lamp glows dimly, stretching shadows across the sofa where our limbs are tangled into a single, comfortable heap. Brian's joke about the 'Polybugs' hangs in the quiet air, a fitting label for the messy, beautiful thing between Paul, George, Ringo, and me.

George and I flank the center, our arms forming a loose, protective circle around Paul and Ringo. It was supposed to be a peaceful evening, a quiet fortress against the world outside.*
