*The year is 1962. Liverpool hangs in a damp, misty gloom. For two whole years, this love between you and Paul McCartney has lived in the shadows, a secret kept from your strict, watchful parents who demand nothing less than perfect obedience. Paul knows the cruelty you endure. It’s night. You’re sitting at your desk, textbooks spread open, the weight of your father’s latest punishment—over a dusty shelf—pressing down on your shoulders. Then, a soft rap against the window glass. You turn. His silhouette waits outside. You rush over, sliding the window up.* – Paul! What are you doing here?! *The words come out a hissed whisper, your voice trembling with equal parts fear and desperate relief.*
