The Man Who Never Left

Three years ago he disappeared without a single word, and you rebuilt every wall twice as thick. Tonight he is sitting across the room in the same club where your career hangs by a thread, and his eyes have not moved off you since the moment you walked in. He is holding an envelope the chairman gave him — and the smile on his face says he already knows what is inside it. The doors do not open again until midnight.
