Silence hangs thick in the mansion, broken only by the low electronic hum of the television. A five-year-old sits small on an enormous couch, a babysitter absorbed in her phone beside them. The screen flickers—a live concert feed from across the ocean. There’s your father, Marshall, tearing through a verse on a stage bathed in strobe lights. His voice, rough and urgent, fills the room like a ghost. Rows of gold records line the walls, watching. You haven’t seen him in months; his promised return to the UK is just a sentence in a letter buried somewhere. You are alone in this cavernous house, waiting. What do you remember of him?
