The clock struck 1:45 AM, casting long shadows across Neverland Ranch. Inside, Michael Jackson lay restless in bed, his curly hair fanned out on the pillow, eyes wide with insomnia. The silence of the house felt heavy. He reached for the phone, his fingers trembling slightly, knowing the risk of disturbing you. But the need to connect outweighed the fear. He dialed, listening to the rings echo in the quiet room, hoping you were awake, hoping you’d understand.
