Turning onto another decent street Faye huffed either mad I made her drive or mad from the previous days of location shopping. We had found a nice wedding venue person to work with. And… Lea has been very useful in showing us what we don’t want. I flinched out of my thoughts when Faye honked at the slow driver who turned out to be a grandma, “Faye…”253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB4vnxB7Aw
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCghsNBmj6z
“They were driving me crazy. …I'm sorry.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQGlJZfltp
“You need to let up.”253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjqOGEWxIF
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5Wd7QagJ2
She did slow down but didn’t stop scowling at the road or cars ahead of us, “They gave us a mature Cleo. The last place she took us to had a hive infestation where you almost got hurt. And the one before that sure looked nice until I almost fell through the wooden floor because of mold!”253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JTRE5F9CZ
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EqvFvDxCM
“Don’t assume Faye. Each place looked beautiful on the outside. What if she hadn’t been given the information about the interior beforehand. A lot of places do that so people can buy them and then find out what they’re actually getting after.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0A6jGEJUx
“Your giving her the benefit of a doubt.”253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRECWXPy0H
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC6W6VKw3V
“Yes I am. Do you know how many times I've had to suck it up because of what I did wrong even though it wasn’t my fault. She’s too terribly nice to have been doing this on purpose.”253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdj8Q17wiK
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz45pdVB37c
“I suppose… But it's been days of getting disappointed. I’m all for this but I'm getting tired of driving all this way for nothing.”253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYYBK3gmbT
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MVBliF2AS
“I know and I'm sorry. Maybe this place will be good this time.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgBDCaSlfO
“I hope so.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQnsrcps6V
We both exhaled as she pulled into a driveway and saw the girl in front of the seemingly fine building we were to look at today, “Now suck up your pride and put on that sweet expression of tenderness I love and adore.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDuK7HEMEa
Faye groaned but did just that, “You two are gonna absolutely love this location. It has a nice view of the lake. A big open area for the recession. And the after party room is a nice short walk that overviews the city.”253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JtNph7Vf2
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI6k0t0To2
“We’ll see.”253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHKt6jJbZQ
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18ckNm0quT
“It does sound wonderful doesn’t it?”253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEYsrh6yjc
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeseuUTXWQH
“Like a dream honey. And it’s within our budget?”253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNsSPMM2Mc
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8D6q7jdiC1
“Actually under it Ms. Hart. “253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyOeb0arE1
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekIoIVuGgj
“Sounds sketchy.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2cef9Nr5t
“Every single one we've been to sounded sketchy to you.”253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOK9KXaaMA
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCkxpAfBF9
She gave me a ‘and look what happened’ look and I laughed it off. Faye then seemed focused on Lea but then squenched her eyes, maybe looking past the foggy window of the door, “There are people in this church.”253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8RjXn2JA6
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GfW8OZt5H
“What? No, that'd be impossible and illegal. There's a literal ‘no trespassing’ sign up front and this neighborhood regularly has police cars patro-,” She opened then shut the door quickly and covered her eyes. I hope she didn’t see anything gross, “There are in fact some people in there. I think they’re homeless and we should probably leave.”253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEy9fynss1
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuEugiQyza
“And I think you already know my answer.”253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjpHZ7Y3cO
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsrX082aJb
“I’m sorry Ms. Hart and to you also Ms. King. I can still find some other destinations for you.”253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpULciAL2Kq
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0J0PZz4Mv
“No, I've by now lost interest. Let’s go Cleo.”253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPzLhhozMW
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyy8DhBmal
“I’ll drop off a check for your time later on.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OGhJy1NZL
“Oh thank you Ms. King. They gave- I'm sorry again, my boss said this was good to show. Maybe I should've come earlier?”253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxd2tcVJV9G
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyHhxhE6QD
“No no don’t blame it on you. Even though that’d be a good tactic your boss should’ve known beforehand. It sounds like they’re just setting you up to fail and-,” I heard the engine of Faye’s car pick up and looked back to glare in which she didn’t meet.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76lIvb2ca4
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3kB5AzQLF
“I gotta go before she does that again. You have to be the one to change your life ok?”253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9diXJb5bKp
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQ3c0zHdEe
“Thank you.”253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67xigBNQ20

“Wake up Faye. Look at this,” I shook her vigorously until she jumped up looking out to the place I parked in front of.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuZq2cK1fg
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOijINNtqNr
“Whoa. Wait where are we?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnBzIFuCdr
“I took a shortcut and got lost but then followed my gut because why not. But we're close to home, albeit a little far but close.”253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GIJUOMRNz
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JJXrwPw7S
“There is no way this place is close to the cabin.”253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KtkQd9wOT
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KyzTYBYGp
“Ok well i did go off track when i first saw it and wanted a better look. So get your butt out, we're going in.”253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpFEqY7zA9
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRWvb5BhU0
“I’m driving us back.”

“Suit yourself.”

Going around the car Faye waited to interlock our arms. We walked the short path almost like tourists ooing and ahing at the exterior. Once we made it inside I could see the future playing out and smiled like it was already the day of.
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cAWmr9WTQ
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxtIKEE3LV
“What do you think?”253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEbS5xdyvu
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNS2T34Pgp
She was smiling too when I looked at her. Though she looked around more than I did, “Who do we talk to to get this place?”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLjJtoKtpL
Further down the rows I saw feet and tapped her shoulder and pointed in that direction. Within seconds the person got up wiping his hands on his shirt, “That would be me. Sorry I was cleaning under the benches. I didn't mean to startle you.”253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VzZsLskwx
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeEBFvG3rS
“Not startled but I like your personal touch.”253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNRnCqADrB
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiOHHmtAZV
“Yea well the cleaning crew I pay so much doesn’t understand the fraze 'I wanna see the shine reflecting off the benches but off the floor’. Y’know for any children that choose the chapal to be a military mission.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDZMWvgO2h
When he neared, Faye lent out her hand first, “Faye and this is my soon to be wife, Cleo.”253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzT2PaNaRh
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGVz7cjH0t
I shook his hand next a bit too eagerly, “Hi nice to meet you.”253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GBK65slWG
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8xdXzketL
“My name's Malcolm and it’s nice to meet you both. I can only assume you two lovely ladies are ready to get married. If you give me either of your numbers I can call you when we are open and speak to the accountant. I’m only the official who marries the people if you like me that is.”253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z1QudOZGX
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRDEPgekww
“I was just about to ask if we’d have to hire our own but it’d be great to have you.”253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPljrYn7NVY
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC9r4ITWVT
“Do people normally just wander into this place?”253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3v0rRQ2JCd
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxC5KZSR7P
“Yes Ms. soon to be wife. Only the best eyes catch our place.”253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCdZvVMZDG
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijOyzcM3Ee
Faye sighed and I bumped my hips with hers thinking of all the times I'll bring this up in our life together, “I think I earned that badge of honor. Had to basically drag this one out and in the end loved it just like me.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWVn3whBd2
We spoke with him some more only after he insisted it wouldn't bother him too much until it started getting dark out. “Well since I have no idea where we are and it's getting darker we’re gonna have to get back on the road.”253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4CjGirlpy
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ908gP7Y6MV
“And I'll be awaiting that call. This really would be the perfect place.”
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkYkDAgn0t
“Then I'll make sure to get back to you fast. You two are the first of the month so I wouldn't worry about any slots not being available. And have a good drive back.”253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2LQ3JdW1D
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rNkZAQkaP
We interlocked our hands this time and I swung her arm back and forth thrilled at the outcome. When we made it to the car she opened the passenger door for me but grabbed me by the waist before I got in, “Excited are we?”253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz67Q8zgpi
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zlLR0P6g7
She had her signature complacent smile on in saying that and I rolled my eyes, “Shut up, I can see you jumping up and down in your head. Now take me home, I am starving.”253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLsqErCIVe
