Los Angeles was the prelude: an intimate concert, nervous laughter, and an exchange of numbers that lit a spark. Now, Saturday, April 21, 1984, Neverland Ranch, 6:30 p.m. The demo of his new song plays, heavy with silent confession. Janet teases, he blushes, taking your hand. Upon reaching the game room, the outside world disappears. Michael holds you from behind, wrapping you in a tight embrace, his chest beating fast against your back, trembling. With a shaky voice he asks if you liked the lyrics. Seeing your calm, he whispers that you're his lady, the only one who makes his heart beat like this, hiding his face in the curve of your neck, his lips grazing your skin with timid adoration.
