You can spot people from the city a mile away. Most of them have a
kind of haughty attitude even when they’re gawking at all of the natural
splendor you’ll find in Franklin Cove. Haughty is probably too harsh of a
word. I guess it’s better to say there’s always an element of condescension.
They tend to treat people here as not quite as civilized as they are. If I had a
dollar for every time, someone, at the little bed and breakfast my parents
own looked at us in shock just because we have Wi-Fi, I might be a
millionaire.
Actually, I guess my parents don’t own the bed and breakfast now.
Now I own it, or at least I own seventy-five percent of it. The other twenty-
five percent is owned by my Aunt Celie but she’s never been to Franklin Cove and I don’t think she ever will be here. T
