"Michelle!" Jim McCartney threw open the door. "It's been so long!"
"It sure has," Paul winced at the deadname, using his natural voice.
"Shelly?" Mike joined them. "Hello!"
"Hello." John stuck out his hand. "John Lennon, Pau - Michelle's best mate."
"Oh, John! Come in!" Jim motioned for them to come inside, prompting them to sit on the couch.
"How's your band, Shelly?" Mike asked.
"It's fine," Paul whispered. "Just fine."
"I think that's - Michelle, what are you wearing?" His father looked him up and down. "A lady shouldn't dress in clothes like that."
"You're right, she shouldn't." His knees shook.
"And you haven't grown your hair out?"
"N - no, sir."
"I like it," Mike reassured him.
"Suits you," John added.
"Ah, I need to tell you guys something." John's grip on his hand tightened.
"I knew it! You two are together!" Jim clapped his hands.
"I - wait, what?"
"I knew it would happen eventually from how much you talk about him! I'm so proud!"
"It's true, but that's not exactly what we wanted to discuss. I'm...I'm..." Paul squeezed John's hand harder than ever before. "I'm not Michelle Pauline McCartney."
"You're not? Michelle, what are you saying?"
"My name is James Paul McCartney."
