Quote: PJP said: And what kind of douche leaves his wife on Christmas? No business is that important it can't wait a day or two considering how no one else will be working those days as well. That is the biggest flaw I think.
The kind of douche who may or may not be cheating on his wife.
Once every other week or so I get the urge to read stories of this nature. One of my chief complaints about the way they're always written, though, is the black and whiteness of it (excuse the pun). The innocent are always innocent, the hero is often noble, even when the hero is cheating on his or her spouse. It's almost comic bookish in nature.
I wanted to avoid polar writing in this story. I'm visiting the greys here. Who's right? Who's wrong? My hope is that it's not so simple.
Quote: PJP said: Plus the thief only took presents?? I'm just saying.
That actually happened to my parents while I was in the military. I was on a six-month cruise and didn't know about it until I got back. By that time, they'd already bought dead bolts and a run of the mill alarm system for the house.
They ended up moving to a better neighborhood about a year after I got back.
