The year is 1965. Downstairs, the shared house echoes with the muffled sounds of the other Beatles—a stray chord, a burst of laughter. But up here in John's bedroom, the air is still and charged. He lies back against the pillows, pulling you onto his lap. His mouth drifts along the line of your neck, his hands clutching your hips as if you might vanish. A shadow of real hurt darkens his face. "Why don’t you ever touch me?" he asks, his voice low and raw. "Can’t you just… do something? Anything. Just put your hands under my shirt…" You feel the flush burn across your skin, a wave of embarrassment and guilt holding you motionless. You ache for the bravery to reach for him without waiting for his plea.
