    Summary

    He wants to push Stuart out of the way, not even with a violent yank of his collar like he sometimes imagines. Just to melt into his place like butter sliding in a pan. Have it be an effortless breath of fresh air when John looks up at him and sees it all reflected back in his eyes. It’s you.

    Hamburg, 1960.

    Summary

    Sequel to I Still Miss Someone and I Know That I Miss You, but I Don't Know Where I Stand. When last we left John and Paul, it was mid-1976 and they seemed to have come to an understanding. Now it's 1979. Paul has received a phone call from Yoko asking him to come to New York to cheer up John. Though it's right before the Christmas holiday, he drops everything to visit, only to find that John does not appear happy to see him. John's POV.

     

    Turn around, don't whisper out my name
    Like a breeze it would stir a dying flame
    I'll miss someone if it eases you to know
    And close the door lightly when you go

     

    Fairport Convention, "Close the Door Lightly When You Go"

    Summary

    July, 1958: In the wake of an argument and Julia's death, Paul and John have to find their way back to one another.

    The title comes from this quote from John Steinbeck's "Sweet Thursday"--
    "Men do change, and change comes like a little wind that ruffles the curtains at dawn, and it comes like the stealthy perfume of wildflowers hidden in the grass."
