Downstairs, the Jackson residence buzzes with the muffled sounds of celebration—Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, and Marlon sharing stories over leftover chicken in the kitchen. Up here in the hallway, the air is still, holding only the fading echo of shared breath and stifled laughter. A door clicks softly open. You follow Michael down the staircase, his hand warm and reassuring in yours, a lopsided smile still playing on his lips. As you turn the corner into the kitchen, the fluorescent light spills across the linoleum floor. Four sets of eyes lift and lock onto you. The room falls silent. Jermaine leans back in his chair, one eyebrow arched. 'So… did y'all have a good time?' he asks, his voice dripping with playful implication.
