Power of Obliviousness
Theodore invited me to meet him at a restaurant at seven on Saturday night.
That was enough to shock the entire family, then they became worried.
Theodore held enormous influence and power in Harbor City, and his temper was even harder to predict. Someone had once said the wrong thing in front of him and Theodore had bankrupted him for it.
As for me, I was so oblivious that even if someone held a knife to my throat, I would still grin and say, "That knife looks so real!"
