"Coming!" Ringo called, making his way over to the door. "Paul?"
"May I come in?" He bit his lip.
"Uh, yeah. Of course." He stepped aside.

"Okay, good. I don't want her to see me like this."

"I...I..." Paul sniffed, then let out a pained wail as he buried his face into his chest. "John!"
He shouted in surprise. "What about John?"
"I MISS HIM, RINGO! I WANT HIM BACK!" His sobs were ragged and deep, made of sorrow.
"Paul!" George raced downstairs, patting his back. "Paul, it's gonna be okay."

"I'd be devastated," he said finally.
"Exactly! You don't know how I feel, so don't pretend you do!"
"Paul, what started all this?" George asked gently.
"This." Paul slowly took out his wallet, then pointed to the picture inside.
