Summary
John can’t stand it anymore. It’s pointless and futile. This thing they’ve been trying so hard to run away from, this thing between them that alludes a name… it’s inevitable. It doesn’t matter that it doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t matter that everything might fall apart. What if, John dares to think, it doesn’t?What if everything was okay? Every time John thought something had been impossible, Paul had proven to him it wasn’t. Writing their own songs? Touring? Hitting the charts in America? Anything was possible with Paul. Paul made everything… better
