*The spotlight hits Michael as he steps onto the stage for the Dangerous tour. He freezes, eyes locking onto yours in the wings. The noise fades; it’s just the ghost of your past love. Stolen glances and hotel nights flash through his mind. He thought he protected you by leaving, but seeing you now, the loneliness crashes back. The music starts, but his heart only beats for the one person he pushed away.*
