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…”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhO0hMqk3U
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXaAAZW1dY
“They were driving me crazy. …I'm sorry.”

“You need to let up.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx75I51hJO1
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIjToiqiW6
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!”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFakjqdOpBn

“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.”
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCnZH4mbox
“Your giving her the benefit of a doubt.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQP3P5Auc9V
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nZWdl05zB
“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.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOU5bZblJx
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6JXBFtK8H
“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.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcM2pgiTJb
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX44iaFGqMR
“I know and I'm sorry. Maybe this place will be good this time.”
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKwihlhK8H
“I hope so.”
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzhu8Rw3TM
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.”
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfv6UaFKHP
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.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySxyElGgTg
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwTLdiOdcu
“We’ll see.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTc6kBtmUlJ
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKOWzFX1Tr
“It does sound wonderful doesn’t it?”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rLL4adc88
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipqyHXRaMv
“Like a dream honey. And it’s within our budget?”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZ1KKHRvep
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsYFhyppNl
“Actually under it Ms. Hart. “227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6tMHZdRZl
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YVyyzLIFB
“Sounds sketchy.”
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTpLg9Fu0O
“Every single one we've been to sounded sketchy to you.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91iz49DM4Q
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9urskXbjo
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.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyRbrEiPhV
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoiTxuUTcC
“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.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDoa0R3jZx
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTooCE8j4CH
“And I think you already know my answer.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QAHCh73Ph
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncVEqTUBFo
“I’m sorry Ms. Hart and to you also Ms. King. I can still find some other destinations for you.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEGU1xna1f
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvpP0Sb65i
“No, I've by now lost interest. Let’s go Cleo.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NzkDFXn2T
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bMrZczmzk
“I’ll drop off a check for your time later on.”
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6U2nVEml0
“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?”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbfl46lrO5
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWvX6rTYNf
“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.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlkzEP2CGP
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBFNDHqILG
“I gotta go before she does that again. You have to be the one to change your life ok?”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcRLyRSsOF

“Wake up Faye. Look at this,” I shook her vigorously until she jumped up looking out to the place I parked in front of.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpPhdKVFw5
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u9I7XxrQ3
“Whoa. Wait where are we?”
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Atrf82bgd
“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.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn6Kr0H2S2
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVtrlZR3SC
“There is no way this place is close to the cabin.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1a1nMiEsJ
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQ9diQORfy
“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.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXflHkgMkH

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.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIDYKOwKFm
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkasRzMOijM
“What do you think?”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrobQOCxF32
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfD39IRkSh4
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?”
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZilirz9TIV
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.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vkbr03wuU
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlZFXmwRpA
“Not startled but I like your personal touch.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡounKfCWFyg
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TesFsBjfE
“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.”

When he neared, Faye lent out her hand first, “Faye and this is my soon to be wife, Cleo.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0eQuRrdXU
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ90WPSeGl
I shook his hand next a bit too eagerly, “Hi nice to meet you.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3TIXT9qBI
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrME6NSHub
“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.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjvyUf0vuw
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1chnZaB0p
“I was just about to ask if we’d have to hire our own but it’d be great to have you.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlaVYGGpmW
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZybmAoraD
“Do people normally just wander into this place?”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPn1N2nJVfE

“Yes Ms. soon to be wife. Only the best eyes catch our place.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAdaSK1J2R
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OsciKoOWz
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.”
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ImgXgLcRh
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.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiufkLZNsLT
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqec4teRUXt
“And I'll be awaiting that call. This really would be the perfect place.”
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnERcPSeRiO
“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.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLmcEoyWCk
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtv9cjtXXxk
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?”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iz2HfJ4OH
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYA72iR3zP9
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.”227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DNQITU49p
