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…”291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6adqsb2RpO
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAWMEoTvpb
“They were driving me crazy. …I'm sorry.”

“You need to let up.”291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQLNEiOi1O
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0Rr1rZEaM
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!”291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGjQhSRtfj

“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.”
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0NzesYzk3
“Your giving her the benefit of a doubt.”291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRLNMAkGfs
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMA74eC2Ds
“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.”291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA527XFCfat
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtMJdVqnOg
“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.”291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmlDFyMjjp
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pqjEg9NLR
“I know and I'm sorry. Maybe this place will be good this time.”
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzEsPONRdd
“I hope so.”
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1rhybsA0T
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.”
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x5QEODnjL
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.”291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDMOq7pHNL
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNTzuG7ft5
“We’ll see.”291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTjAWVk9PM

“It does sound wonderful doesn’t it?”291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEDfZXArBf
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfX4uye5kO
“Like a dream honey. And it’s within our budget?”291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUUebUmKmM
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Q3yKsp9Of
“Actually under it Ms. Hart. “291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgitnbAFcE
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS46Ca370WA
“Sounds sketchy.”
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0rvZjjzXz
“Every single one we've been to sounded sketchy to you.”291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkg3xyPO68s
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBOPU35lHN
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.”291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5k9oqhFDy
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOb9yJTMlaA
“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.”291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiKBLAOPtd
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbh5tEUXlJl
“And I think you already know my answer.”291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OALpATlQ4
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAh1ZuE3LRj
“I’m sorry Ms. Hart and to you also Ms. King. I can still find some other destinations for you.”291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbBAUqhAOl
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTJDck372b
“No, I've by now lost interest. Let’s go Cleo.”291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAVDPLYP0Q
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTGfdrqJaU
“I’ll drop off a check for your time later on.”
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyRUAYpKDL
“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?”291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBLZK3j8hJ
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJwERuazR3
“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.291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE757p5V01L
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqssJtIhNt4
“I gotta go before she does that again. You have to be the one to change your life ok?”291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFHb40HhGf

“Wake up Faye. Look at this,” I shook her vigorously until she jumped up looking out to the place I parked in front of.

“Whoa. Wait where are we?”
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDxZjMLNgX
“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.”291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPs403KPLs

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.
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0j1uQP7jU
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tdnXyx2eF
“What do you think?”291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9YMLzbdCV
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3oqDwG9yq
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?”
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qUzSuX2d5
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.”291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy4SMWbsaP
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5xOAde7XQ
“Not startled but I like your personal touch.”291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHw8QXvcGz
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWutIW26C5
“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.”
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY52zWXZamw
When he neared, Faye lent out her hand first, “Faye and this is my soon to be wife, Cleo.”291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG071A6zW0c
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSscrEnQYxo
I shook his hand next a bit too eagerly, “Hi nice to meet you.”291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqHFvNLWH5
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40HNlo3kRe
“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.”291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bfr5D1Rxb
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJCiMrbjZv

“Do people normally just wander into this place?”291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKddSYpqg8H

“Yes Ms. soon to be wife. Only the best eyes catch our place.”291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAV9TIc4tF
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrqXbIqVvV
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.”
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcPPfdV085
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.”291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWmsGAfZzU
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYW63Nd6bI
“And I'll be awaiting that call. This really would be the perfect place.”
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhssd8JgBFi
“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.”291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX9Mc05vbi
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMM91YUokpA
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?”291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1AIqxSD5G
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFTgqO0iZo
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.”291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChazGJBX6W
