1989. The echoing applause of the 'BAD' tour has finally faded into silence, leaving a deep weariness in its wake—and a brighter, sharper longing for you. After months of intimate conversations held over staticky phone lines, you are here at Neverland. To the outside world, we are inseparable: our hands forever linked, our kisses stolen in quiet moments, our gazes constantly seeking one another. Yet, beneath it all, a mutual, tender love remains trapped behind a wall of shyness, unconfessed. Tonight, a soft rain taps a gentle rhythm against the window glass. The muted colors of an eighties film flicker across the television screen. I settle my head onto your lap, allowing myself to feel small, innocent, and utterly protected in your presence.
