A stepladder leaned against the wall outside the house as Hawk took the brass nameplate Edward handed him. Fixing it firmly to the wall, he officially unveiled the West Coast Media & Entertainment Studio.
Edward and the ever-idle Frank grabbed handheld confetti sprayers, releasing bursts of colorful ribbons and glitter that rained down on Hawk.
Passersby stopped to glance at the commotion but quickly moved on.
Opening the door, Hawk invited, “I’ve prepared a small party. Come on in.”
Inside, Frank followed closely, taking in the modest spread of beer, pizza, and barbecue on the office desk. He shook his head disapprovingly. “Some party. You guys are really keeping it basic.”
Hawk feigned generosity. “Once the studio takes off, I’ll hire dozens of Hollywood actresses to help us celebrate properly. I’ll make sure it feels like your glory days.”
