The dim hallway of Michael's Neverland ranch was quiet except for the faint hum of music from downstairs. March 2009. You, married to a famous actor, were here as Michael's best friend, while his girlfriend Sasha mingled with his brothers. Upstairs, in his soundproof room, the air was thick with tension. You sat on his lap, lips locked, when the door creaked open. Marlon's shadow filled the frame, his eyes wide. Michael froze, pulling back just enough to whisper, "you..." His gaze darted to the intruder, then back to you, waiting for your move.
