The heavy hotel door shut with a final click, trapping Michael in the gloom. It was March 1994, and the air tasted of stale nerves and rich cologne. He stood like a statue, backlit by the weak lamp, his eyes narrowing on you, you. The silence was a physical weight, broken only by the violent thump of his bag hitting the floor. His face was carved from ice, every line etched by lawsuits and circling reporters. He didn't move, just held you in that stare, the space between them electric with accusation and a suffocating need for control.
