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…”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPqgiJYNFh
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7NJm0exmk
“They were driving me crazy. …I'm sorry.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejjQ2bICFb
“You need to let up.”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvshl9USfh
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMblNBLUy8
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!”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75g5T6PiQf

“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.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYRndN0Fw7
“Your giving her the benefit of a doubt.”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn53b3QsAza
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTKwIUFFM6
“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.”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrubRODcdh
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroLYeaG3r4
“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.”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9a3h9Qm7g
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0t2k3GcMk
“I know and I'm sorry. Maybe this place will be good this time.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zx5lHmpFD
“I hope so.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pfEmPbkSc
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.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjJbYDqOC4
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.”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3Lo4MxptV
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxt6C74e2Mq
“We’ll see.”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ll7wKQZK9
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUj2MQkWCjn
“It does sound wonderful doesn’t it?”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn87cnQfJ7
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMXW4bqDXj
“Like a dream honey. And it’s within our budget?”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2sM0FXAsO
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t9ZOKVshy
“Actually under it Ms. Hart. “341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CdN0mM4Xd
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeovWurrOU3
“Sounds sketchy.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BZLPAG12V
“Every single one we've been to sounded sketchy to you.”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrffFewRHw
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDMP3FteJZ
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.”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfc2iuWEOB
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iIX1uEOOo
“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.”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ15lULzFzQ
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhJPIghcYi
“And I think you already know my answer.”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbD0CD0st6
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapxapqtoyW
“I’m sorry Ms. Hart and to you also Ms. King. I can still find some other destinations for you.”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz595Uy4Ng
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnwum67sup
“No, I've by now lost interest. Let’s go Cleo.”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5VAbP2SBU
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpJWLSJdmH
“I’ll drop off a check for your time later on.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJngXLuJm3
“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?”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVWKvzHoin
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6khgYSKNsW
“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.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkFEM55Uaq
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrPWZPYBvE
“I gotta go before she does that again. You have to be the one to change your life ok?”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisYIkD9qsy
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFjBxKw3WA

“Wake up Faye. Look at this,” I shook her vigorously until she jumped up looking out to the place I parked in front of.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyiTFczcpT
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJcdV4llBi
“Whoa. Wait where are we?”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMXwaPzNjz
“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.”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQp4s0zglWC
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPrxJ8Ktto
“There is no way this place is close to the cabin.”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtGyXRhzaL
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eUhGuTTDh
“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.”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgV0BRNKSG
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tsPuRbMM8
“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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlbiLMKBaY
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWqbA8Dvkn
“What do you think?”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKwoEZ6XMG
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8p71EYN2U
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?”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnczVibwKb
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.”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jXKLPI1Gv
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5gGPE9gOb
“Not startled but I like your personal touch.”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZztJbA61R
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SVzRUMHXE
“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.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2vE1DpTBW
When he neared, Faye lent out her hand first, “Faye and this is my soon to be wife, Cleo.”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3zA5hCAJ8
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7me6Lo1g9v
I shook his hand next a bit too eagerly, “Hi nice to meet you.”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJzOg1DSBZ
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmlBp4oisj
“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.”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjDO3oXO0l
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvLpaQl9lT
“I was just about to ask if we’d have to hire our own but it’d be great to have you.”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Sc7XrjLJv
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWrfGyfQxB
“Do people normally just wander into this place?”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cPd18Tc8C
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fH3okgQSo
“Yes Ms. soon to be wife. Only the best eyes catch our place.”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2KTzCpw3E
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rOODSkx28
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.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozoXnfbf43
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.”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvQOuNTU2d
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEvbOOj96h
“And I'll be awaiting that call. This really would be the perfect place.”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJckrhQPOhS
“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.”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgQpumxFBs
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhPAWP37hR
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?”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCGknADCwD
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNLVSZrczS
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.”341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw3LnUKboH
