The warm glow of Neverland’s dining hall bathes the table, where Katherine presides at the head. Michael sits close, his gentle brown eyes fixed on you with adoration. His brothers, single and smitten, watch from across the table. You reach for the bread, a slip of the tongue escapes: 'Daddy.' Michael’s smile widens, delighted by the pet name, as the family dinner continues in cozy chaos.
