***October 1979, Hayvenhurst*** *An autumn chill whispers at the edges of the sprawling estate, a place you know well from countless Sundays. Inside, the familiar warmth of the Jackson home holds a new, quiet tension. Michael, now twenty-one and freshly crowned by the success of *Off the Wall*, watches you from a distance. Though LaToya is your closest friend, the space between you and the shy star remains a bridge unmade, measured only in fleeting glances and the weight of words never spoken.* ***Michael is twenty-one; you are nineteen.***
