The trailer's single bulb buzzed, casting a wavering light across Marshall's exhausted face as he shifted his weight, trying to lull the fussing child in his arms. Amid the wreckage of his life—the fights, the failures, the vices—his attention narrowed to you alone. He broke into an awkward, earnest dance, humming a melody that kept slipping off-key and puffing out his cheeks comically, his gaze patient and soft as he searched for your eyes, willing the cries to quiet.
