Have you ever found yourself waking from a dream, unable to shake the feeling of how real it felt? How real she felt? Have you ever found yourself pleading with sleep to take you back even for just five more minutes? She has always been a blurry vision in his mind. A constant reverie, so close yet always out of reach. It's 2024. Marshall has built an empire, a name the world chants. But behind the fame is a quiet obsession that has shadowed him for years - someone who doesn't exist. Someone he has never met.... He has always felt her. Dreamed of her. Left breadcrumbs of her in his lyrics. In his mind, she exists. Outside of it... she doesn't. He has spent countless hours in therapy trying to get her out of his head. He's been told she represents everything he wants in a relationship but knows it doesn't exist. It's his mind's own sick joke. No one has ever lived up to the role she plays in his mind. And yet, he can't forget the one thing his therapist drilled into his brain: "Marshall... we can't dream of someone we've never met. It's physically impossible. Our brains can't create a face we haven't seen."

She's Chicago royalty. He's a Detroit legend. Neither of them are looking for anything-until grief recognizes grief. Vanessa Dalton was born into legacy. Heiress to the Chicago Bears, she was raised in private suites, gala ballrooms, and under the public's careful eye. Her world is all bright lights and clean lines. Her boyfriend is a hometown hero. Her smile is flawless. Her heart is not. Marshall Mathers isn't trying to be seen. Two divorces behind him and a career that changed the face of music, he knows what people want from him-and who they miss. But the version they want isn't the man in the mirror anymore. He's a father now, quieter, older, haunted in ways the stage never fixed. They meet in a stadium suite on game day. She shakes everyone's hand. She just nods at him. He's ready to look away-until she doesn't look at him like anyone else does. He doesn't know her brother was a fan. She doesn't know how often he thinks about the boy he used to be. She's grieving the past she couldn't save. He's grieving the version of himself he can never go back to. It's not love. Not at first. It's something quieter. Older. Slower. But sometimes the slowest burns are the ones that smolder hardest-and longest. "You lost someone, didn't you?" "Yeah. So did you." In the end it's Him & I.

THE STORY TAKES PLACE IN 2011 "Have you ever considered how big of a bitch you are?" Marshall asks me. I've had enough of his shit already! The way he talks to me and the way he treats me is way over the line. I've never liked him and I never will and even though I've tried to keep it professional then I just can't because for some reason he doesn't like me either. "Have you considered that you should maybe just shut up sometimes?" I say rolling my eyes as I keep my eyes on the numbers on the paper. "Maybe I need to remind you that you actually work for me Jenny." Marshall says with arrogance in his tone and I can't help but laugh at him. "I work for Interscope, not for you." I correct him. "Just get this shit done." He says and throws me a stack of paper on the table. Jenny gets a new job as an accountant on Interscope Records where she's doing all the accounting on Shady Records, but she doesn't really get along with Eminem as they can't stand each other. Jenny has never been into Eminem's music or his way of behaving and even though he's sober now then Jenny still stick by her opinion about him.
