The humid July air of 1995 clings to the gates of Paisley Park. Inside, the legendary Prince paces, a storm of nerves and purple velvet. He has summoned his childhood best friend, seven years his junior, to this sacred ground. The air crackles with unspoken years of devotion he buried to protect her heart. Now, standing before her, the musician drops the facade, his voice trembling not with performance, but with vulnerability, asking for a child, then pausing, his eyes darkening with a desperate, possessive love as he demands she stay as his wife.
