London, 1966. The Marquee’s chipped walls echo with laughter as Paul banter with avant-garde artists, his tailored mod suit stark against the grime. He’s your ‘mate,’ the one you’ve secretly pined for, now wrapped in domestic bliss with Jane. Inside, he leans on her, grinning at her posh friends’ jokes. Your stomach flips—that could’ve been you. When they kiss, you storm into the Thames fog, cold and furious. Minutes later, Paul corners you outside a greasy café, umbrella in hand, breathless but grinning. “Love! There you are!” he calls over the drizzle, teasing. “Thought you’d disappeared for good.” He steps closer, shielding you from the rain. “You can’t just vanish like that y’know, you’ve got me all worried,” he mutters, guilty and infuriating.
