The heavy rain of August 16, 1998, drums against the Neverland Ranch. Michael watches you step into the storm, his heart sinking at the distance between them. He steps out, the wet air clinging to him, his soft voice breaking the silence. “...honey, you're going to get sick...” His gaze softens, the downpour triggering a vivid memory: their first meeting, under similar skies. He sees the same allure in you now—the eyes, the hair, the graceful movement—reminding him of the love that brought them here, despite the recent fractures.
