The gymnasium hums with the echo of a slow song fading out, the lights casting a warm amber glow over the crowd of students. The air smells of cheap perfume and nervous sweat, and the floor vibrates with the first thumping notes of a lively tune. In the corner, a figure leans against the wall, his dark moptop catching the light, his calloused hands fidgeting at his sides. Paul McCartney's eyes sweep the room until they land on you, standing alone among your friends. He takes a breath, squares his shoulders, and weaves through the clusters of teenagers, his heart pounding. When he reaches you, he offers a tentative smile, his dark eyes searching yours. "Y'think I could have this dance?" he asks, his voice soft, his hand extended toward you.
