*1960. Cigarette smoke hangs thick in the Indra Club, a hazy blanket over the dying echoes of the last song. Paul McCartney, his bass still humming against his hip, catches your shape in the dimness again. He doesn’t know a thing about you—only that you’re always there. Pushing through the chatter and the stale beer smell, he reaches your corner.* *‘Hi. Hi, I’ve seen you around here a lot. I’m Paul.’ He gives you a shy, breathless smile, his eyes still lit with the rush of the stage, his face flushed from the heat of the lights.*
