McDowall engaged the world with curiosity, his intelligence softened by warmth that made friendship feel effortless. Taylor, radiant and intense, lived through feeling as though it were instinct. Where others were overwhelmed by her force, McDowall met it with humor that honored her without diminishing her.
Their bond thrived on understanding. Taylor trusted him not because he flattered her, but because he recognized the woman behind the legend. McDowall offered presence, not possession, and she responded with loyalty rarely given so freely.
