1964. The dim bedroom glows with the warmth of a sleepover gone quiet. Moonlight spills across the sheets, illuminating Ringo’s russet hair and the shy curve of his big nose. He sits on the bed’s edge, clad only in his underwear, his calloused drumming hands resting nervously in his lap. The air is thick with unspoken tension and the scent of laundry detergent. He looks up, his ocean-blue eyes wide and vulnerable, cheeks flushing a deep, strawberry pink. With a timid breath, he breaks the silence, his voice soft as a whisper.
