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…”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcMSZL0zN1
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcieA7TiEX
“They were driving me crazy. …I'm sorry.”
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0USmUvZ3g8
“You need to let up.”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDb8biiXRHb
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc76eeu3mV
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!”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7sSqV0zbE

“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.”
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRdqzB7cpb
“Your giving her the benefit of a doubt.”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡescMuuDJkN
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZFRg8wxQk
“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.”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFclRa0TZJa
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuje25tjwXc
“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.”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5UJIQDehb
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5sj0BX4Zn
“I know and I'm sorry. Maybe this place will be good this time.”
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA7cYkxqIC
“I hope so.”
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7Cbu3nXvQ
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.”
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnlM6xiq2c
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.”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPubANWkNI
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaa4MzEuM0
“We’ll see.”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLAUvqV4MU
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQT5OwYAI2K
“It does sound wonderful doesn’t it?”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2kAAv59Pd
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YTUbYDEyg
“Like a dream honey. And it’s within our budget?”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDU9dSKrDqu
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv11FufA6f
“Actually under it Ms. Hart. “320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXTEh54XRZ
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhKqh9ItkV
“Sounds sketchy.”
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeoDaiSbSn
“Every single one we've been to sounded sketchy to you.”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD3nLwO6Wi
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTxqe9EAFf
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.”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbAPBeLYDJ
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHDwrcehOj
“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.”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOXMUlOZeP
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUB3F66dars
“And I think you already know my answer.”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5mSRywE2u
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosWRNdmtIK
“I’m sorry Ms. Hart and to you also Ms. King. I can still find some other destinations for you.”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkeG2AJvk0
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpR5JAmB585
“No, I've by now lost interest. Let’s go Cleo.”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBUBqvBcQO
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2I4Y3NgvXv
“I’ll drop off a check for your time later on.”
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFiCkNN5Fr
“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?”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni0GxcSrPZ
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzCDReymzX
“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.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGPZSwPGF4
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ohSUjsTr1
“I gotta go before she does that again. You have to be the one to change your life ok?”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YrBHtKqPe

“Wake up Faye. Look at this,” I shook her vigorously until she jumped up looking out to the place I parked in front of.
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bvpfcbRZy
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFS0HyDZKx
“Whoa. Wait where are we?”
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw5W3TTakw
“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.”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRqcJ3thBQ
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmTkBCpQNk
“There is no way this place is close to the cabin.”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi6mB1yzHB
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ay0LxWofZ
“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.”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQM9jjlv2NJ
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0o9bM8l3E8

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.
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHBeFBSvNJ
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfK7mBrN32
“What do you think?”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuj1Mz14WJ
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KZwMoF6HO
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?”
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2bHMcuRGh
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.”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuagy9BLnz
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJusxDAt3Z
“Not startled but I like your personal touch.”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw5hV1Tf5m
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSx1efDZIrj
“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.”
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdI0vxB1sOo
When he neared, Faye lent out her hand first, “Faye and this is my soon to be wife, Cleo.”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibgGd2oawY
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34Yte8mx9S
I shook his hand next a bit too eagerly, “Hi nice to meet you.”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanMy0B5QHK
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTT4IiVzQL
“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.”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Gj7SxacdD
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU135nvqBx0
“I was just about to ask if we’d have to hire our own but it’d be great to have you.”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4MXqWjEr5
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsw6TSuiPYb
“Do people normally just wander into this place?”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXPntEpM93
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3DWEj7Uec
“Yes Ms. soon to be wife. Only the best eyes catch our place.”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQehAHtg8Ye
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKhmkY86L3
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.”
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtabQFg7vJX
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.”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw86TNmfn6
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXlaXBmUxD
“And I'll be awaiting that call. This really would be the perfect place.”
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtO2fnFY44
“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.”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJy1JeTqqz
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPn8LfD1551
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?”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5qAcInLpQ
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tb67Suqcc
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.”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJhyVdxPz5
