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.”
227Please respect copyright.PENANAbLXh9dt5Ye
“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
227Please respect copyright.PENANAw5KN7xRX3n
“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
227Please respect copyright.PENANAp8ZMP6VZuJ
“Thank you.”227Please respect copyright.PENANAdqNvectDkv

“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
227Please respect copyright.PENANAtojKUYATvx
“I’m driving us back.”
227Please respect copyright.PENANABdHrqTQ0BS
“Suit yourself.”
227Please respect copyright.PENANAtcwpjO4P3Y
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.”
227Please respect copyright.PENANAeteFa8tw7k
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
227Please respect copyright.PENANA4uYLLsQogX
“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
