Graham groaned while sipping his morning coffee. Another gaggle of camera and cell phone toting miscreants stood at his gate. Again. The eighteenth day in a row.
Celia came into the room riding her bubbly enthusiasm and glanced at the menagerie.
“I think i’ts interesting,” she said smiling. “I put a register down there for folks to write their home city.”
“Interesting,” Graham grumbled. We’ll be lucky if we get to stay.”
“But you don’t want to,” Celia said. “Ernie thought using the house for his movie would make it famous and more valuable.”
“Famous and valuable are different things.”
Ouch.. I would guess selling quickly makes a better business… fame can be exhausting.
