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…”254Please respect copyright.PENANAZtVm0uuSsO
254Please respect copyright.PENANAq829TUgckR
“They were driving me crazy. …I'm sorry.”
254Please respect copyright.PENANAaqnXNQnK9V
“You need to let up.”254Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3YtYsl7a3
254Please respect copyright.PENANAerRxHd9Wu6
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!”254Please respect copyright.PENANADuOziA9IMs

“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.”
254Please respect copyright.PENANAC0QMffiak8
“Your giving her the benefit of a doubt.”254Please respect copyright.PENANAncOEEXClxc
254Please respect copyright.PENANAYWpawrGAVj
“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.”254Please respect copyright.PENANAMeCiexMaf8
254Please respect copyright.PENANAAMs0Vu10kK
“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.”254Please respect copyright.PENANAYXmGmbsNvn
254Please respect copyright.PENANAqINySBtyhJ
“I know and I'm sorry. Maybe this place will be good this time.”
254Please respect copyright.PENANAXdIbJspS4Y
“I hope so.”
254Please respect copyright.PENANAqLi4IcjeBy
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.”
254Please respect copyright.PENANAvDIMoJ58Lo
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.”254Please respect copyright.PENANAdKOxLzi2uJ
254Please respect copyright.PENANA02FtrR2J6k
“We’ll see.”254Please respect copyright.PENANAn61TAjVJJr
254Please respect copyright.PENANAGgb44sXpQw
“It does sound wonderful doesn’t it?”254Please respect copyright.PENANAS2Drq0SfGk
254Please respect copyright.PENANAuuQgNTqcD6
“Like a dream honey. And it’s within our budget?”254Please respect copyright.PENANAFyprPebtRd
254Please respect copyright.PENANAnisxsxSw0H
“Actually under it Ms. Hart. “254Please respect copyright.PENANAUUY677uhEN
254Please respect copyright.PENANAIHoOrxwSZW
“Sounds sketchy.”
254Please respect copyright.PENANAAGeURM2cBh
“Every single one we've been to sounded sketchy to you.”254Please respect copyright.PENANAD3ux1hgjbi
254Please respect copyright.PENANALsaGzjjSIT
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.”254Please respect copyright.PENANAuWi3nsOGMh
254Please respect copyright.PENANA0ETPpOgCq3
“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.”254Please respect copyright.PENANARZnjUr19bM
254Please respect copyright.PENANAF3fzxBiqkJ
“And I think you already know my answer.”254Please respect copyright.PENANAgQgQj1TYTh
254Please respect copyright.PENANA1KhlJuECo3
“I’m sorry Ms. Hart and to you also Ms. King. I can still find some other destinations for you.”254Please respect copyright.PENANAM9iSdBYtgA
254Please respect copyright.PENANAEup2TRoidF
“No, I've by now lost interest. Let’s go Cleo.”254Please respect copyright.PENANApY2suaE54w
254Please respect copyright.PENANAERziO8GUPX
“I’ll drop off a check for your time later on.”
254Please respect copyright.PENANAxJMX4JJr2Z
“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?”254Please respect copyright.PENANAyAnfFx29gJ
254Please respect copyright.PENANAfwHY59APJe
“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.254Please respect copyright.PENANA7ohkv9kvi9
254Please respect copyright.PENANAWr4OWAAjvO
“I gotta go before she does that again. You have to be the one to change your life ok?”254Please respect copyright.PENANAP1r6VRtPgW
254Please respect copyright.PENANAiCBdki94st
“Thank you.”254Please respect copyright.PENANAraw6uAG9GV

“Wake up Faye. Look at this,” I shook her vigorously until she jumped up looking out to the place I parked in front of.
254Please respect copyright.PENANA3gvdqqHR3B
254Please respect copyright.PENANApYYrv8V3KW
“Whoa. Wait where are we?”
254Please respect copyright.PENANAuKqWevP38K
“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.”254Please respect copyright.PENANAxtLprag9YX
254Please respect copyright.PENANAfj7Sk0sI5x
“There is no way this place is close to the cabin.”254Please respect copyright.PENANAGuUdfrBVN6
254Please respect copyright.PENANALOAGiEY7yn
“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.”254Please respect copyright.PENANARnh5tPbFvD
254Please respect copyright.PENANArKDTHcAmYd
“I’m driving us back.”
254Please respect copyright.PENANADQPhmIEbV9
“Suit yourself.”
254Please respect copyright.PENANAkceQ9WiW36
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.
254Please respect copyright.PENANA3jdpGejUEL
254Please respect copyright.PENANAYszeOitiex
“What do you think?”254Please respect copyright.PENANAi6LbmcafD6
254Please respect copyright.PENANAAaPJZn1HuN
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?”
254Please respect copyright.PENANAzw0Uikna85
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.”254Please respect copyright.PENANA7yWOOlh52n
254Please respect copyright.PENANA8Tzn5jMifz
“Not startled but I like your personal touch.”254Please respect copyright.PENANAlM9MwmJBFR
254Please respect copyright.PENANA62T6ob9qac
“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.”
254Please respect copyright.PENANA9krzQEdoL1
When he neared, Faye lent out her hand first, “Faye and this is my soon to be wife, Cleo.”254Please respect copyright.PENANAqU80i95z1A
254Please respect copyright.PENANA1dyZlpX0Ap
I shook his hand next a bit too eagerly, “Hi nice to meet you.”254Please respect copyright.PENANAQgebL00jfX
254Please respect copyright.PENANAfmcCQZlLZh
“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.”254Please respect copyright.PENANA8FAuLq96mX
254Please respect copyright.PENANA4WSo0EsMgn
“I was just about to ask if we’d have to hire our own but it’d be great to have you.”254Please respect copyright.PENANA1ONiQJ4ZNh
254Please respect copyright.PENANACbZLIBsFAv
“Do people normally just wander into this place?”254Please respect copyright.PENANAd1XQQ6s6fk
254Please respect copyright.PENANAneeY1StQ3g
“Yes Ms. soon to be wife. Only the best eyes catch our place.”254Please respect copyright.PENANAH6iS5rQ9HU
254Please respect copyright.PENANAOjEyfJndTo
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.”
254Please respect copyright.PENANAKzlwewVfoV
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.”254Please respect copyright.PENANAXeHvwOZbhl
254Please respect copyright.PENANAERFW0an3C2
“And I'll be awaiting that call. This really would be the perfect place.”
254Please respect copyright.PENANAzp9j2f95ci
“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.”254Please respect copyright.PENANAMChqm0Wnvx
254Please respect copyright.PENANA3auyOhEdlh
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?”254Please respect copyright.PENANAyhiiX4sI7X
254Please respect copyright.PENANAXEl4Md3YUG
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.”254Please respect copyright.PENANAQG9wu4LwMD
