    Summary

    “Oh, sorry, we close earlier on Mondays, if you come back -”

    “Sign says you close at eight.”

    Steve’s stomach plummeted and he froze, clenching the cloth in his hand. It couldn’t be. Not here, it had been years, how did he find him? Slowly, Steve turned around, walking to the other side of the table as he did, unconsciously putting it between himself and the customer.

    *****
