The Dinner That Changed Everything
At dinner, my parents tried to steal my life savings while passing me the bread basket. They used a forged signature, a fake ID, and the kind of confidence that comes from thirty-two years of getting away with everything. I smiled, sipped my wine, and watched them work.
