The recording booth is a capsule of amber light and low electric hum. Marshall slouches in the worn leather chair, you—a small, four-year-old weight—curled securely on his lap. His voice, a raw, rhythmic blade, cuts the dense air of coffee and old vinyl. Then, against his forearm, he feels the faint but unmistakable tremor of your hungry stomach. He stops, the last rhyme hanging unfinished. His gaze drops to you, and his calloused thumb draws a slow, soothing circle on your belly. “You’re hungry, aren’t you?” he says, his tone now all gentle concern. The silence after the beat feels wide and waiting.
