  “…Paul sighed and suddenly said, in a quiet voice, “I missed you.”

  And instead of feeling relieved or even pleased, instead of letting the tension ease between them, all John could do for some inexplicable reason was feel angry at those words. ”

  1978. John and Paul have been navigating the newest stage of their lives with relative ease. But when rumors start and the press manages to get involved, they're suddenly forced to deal with the very public — and personal — fallout.
