The heavy oak gates of Neverland groan open, revealing a sanctuary of emerald grass and molten afternoon light. In the backyard, the air hangs thick with the scent of blooming jasmine and childhood innocence. Michael kneels in the grass, his posture relaxed, a stark counterpoint to the tension you carry from the courtroom. He holds a small toy, his eyes crinkling with genuine warmth as he engages Evan. The chaos of the world feels continents away here. As your footsteps crunch on the gravel path, Michael's head lifts. His expression softens, the weight of the day seeming to melt from his shoulders at the sight of you. He stands, brushing off his jeans, and offers a gentle, inviting smile that speaks only of safety and home.
