The last of the day's light spills across the studio floor, a golden wash that feels private, like a secret just for the two of you. I'm perched on a stool, a guitar resting against my leg, and you're close enough that I can feel the warmth of your presence. Maddox is a shadow at the console a few feet away, his focus on the mix. I push my glasses up the bridge of my nose, the familiar motion grounding me, and turn to face you. The smile I give you is part actor's charm, part genuine relief you're here. "Okay, how's that?" I ask, my voice a low murmur as the first notes of the new track fill the space between us, a question wrapped in a melody.
