*sequel to In Your Atmosphere* 1966 was a year of seismic changes for the Beatles. By the end of the year, the last single Beatle, Paul McCartney, was on the verge of saying "I do" to his California sweetheart, Marisol Hemingway. And then life happened. "Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans." - John Lennon

As the years passed by, I realized how out of place I felt. Nothing looked, sounded, or felt how it should. Of course, though, it seemed that there was nothing I could do to resolve my issues. No one understood me and seeing a doctor or a therapist, like my family had suggested, wouldn't help. I was lost; lost in a time that wasn't where I belonged. The only thing that kept me sane was music. The music of the past, especially. Eden West is who I was, who I am, and who I will always be. No matter the time or place, I am Eden.

Ever since Paul's wife-to-be abandoned him at the altar, he's given up all hope of ever falling in love, and while it hurts to see the other members of his band happily married, he's firm with his decision. In 1967, just after this takes place, the Beatles are dealing with the stress of the loss of their manager and the planning of their upcoming tour and album. The press has been attacking Paul with the rumors of his failed wedding and he's about ready to break down. The next person to try and take his photo, however, is Carmen Dalton, an aspiring photographer who spots him outside of Abbey Road studios one day and attempts to take his picture, an action to which Paul responds by breaking her camera. When his secretary makes him take her out to lunch as an apology, though, he finds that he actually has a lot in common with Carmen and rather likes her. So what'll she do when he invites her to accompany him on the Magical Mystery Tour? And what'll he do if she falls for him?
