No transition plan was requested. There was no mention of a replacement, no conversation about transferring files, no effort to understand the projects I had been holding together behind the scenes. Evergreen kept moving around me as if my resignation did not exist.

The office occupied the fourth floor of a renovated brick building near the river, the kind of place donors loved visiting because it felt modern without feeling corporate. Glass offices lined one side. Open workstations filled the middle.

Framed photographs of wetlands, forests, and community restoration projects hung along the walls. My desk sat near the east windows, close enough that I could see the river on clear mornings. For years, that view had made the long hours feel meaningful.

Lately, it only reminded me how much of myself I had poured into a place that had learned to take without seeing. On the morning my two weeks ended, I approached Reginald’s office again. I knocked twice before entering.
