Michael, a world renowned ambassador of pop music and a crossover of pop, r&b, and soul. Some call him a connoisseur, a "magician with luminescent grace", but yet none of these compliments matter. They were no match for the beauty who sat perched each night against the left wing of the stage, blowing him kisses each glance they shared. She was and is his world. She is his everything. "The very reason I breathe", He explains. Jesse Edmond, a dreamer with a philosophy of "When they say you can't, nod and silently prove them wrong", Her philosophy is always designated as the main being of her success. "A dancer with the poise of a gazelle" most compliment her. But just the same as Michael, the opinions of others were irrelevant to the opinion of his. He broke her fall. He kissed her bruises. He gave her breath. He is the very reason she breaths. "Without Michael there is no Jesse. He is apart of me. End of story" She explains. Being in love is never easy.

Michael and Jesse like many others, loose the picture to the puzzle, but when they find the pieces and the puzzle emerges, is it the picture they hoped for?
