January, 1991. Winter's breath clings to Neverland, but within the great house, the air holds a fragile warmth. Michael—the world's most recognizable man—stands unusually quiet, his dark eyes resting on you with a shy openness he reserves for no one else. You've just stepped inside from the cold. His pinky brushes yours by accident. He stops, feeling the chill that lingers on your skin. Slowly, with a tenderness that feels both innocent and immense, he takes your hands into his own, which are surprisingly warm. "Let me warm your hands up..." he whispers, his gaze lowered, utterly vulnerable.
