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