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…”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA5sZukwcf
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oguwnUt3b
“They were driving me crazy. …I'm sorry.”
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUs5SAyz8L
“You need to let up.”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3Q99wQbt5
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeLLhZxSFQ
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!”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQWUswOtP7
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Gn2Zwckaf
“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.”
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdR4Ff00NW
“Your giving her the benefit of a doubt.”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9p9tWwQdLC
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh2omHxC6c
“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.”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsmZq1vYqX
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssKhPxpwAn
“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.”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1Yo1OO7vx
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Nm03T9rsI
“I know and I'm sorry. Maybe this place will be good this time.”
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoktFKn6czo
“I hope so.”
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ84xyRyIXG
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.”
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStqqtqrQRR
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.”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeTzpLjc2q
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIARkwj6jzL
“We’ll see.”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPqgudUPRP
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmWWI7OrzJ
“It does sound wonderful doesn’t it?”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOVQygBxgv
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVdstLepL1
“Like a dream honey. And it’s within our budget?”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlc0xDhco0
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYoYSoZ4sn
“Actually under it Ms. Hart. “319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbd5KIacsuj
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyWb8P7G5m
“Sounds sketchy.”
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Fgvab5yAy
“Every single one we've been to sounded sketchy to you.”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJX7fhA3hM
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sQtU0o9LQ
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.”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHWcJw1pQp
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmhFEuZXW4
“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.”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtKBYwenvQ
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKw5uuyHEjB
“And I think you already know my answer.”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG74adouWA8
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfhczC8rEK
“I’m sorry Ms. Hart and to you also Ms. King. I can still find some other destinations for you.”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9e9bsXYLfP
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUqBT6mOJR
“No, I've by now lost interest. Let’s go Cleo.”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZeE8WtTYU
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2iiih2g4X
“I’ll drop off a check for your time later on.”
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFb5kjNHZB
“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?”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi7foniH6l
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbMWgcO64N
“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.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoinPdELaH
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZrVZF1Smu
“I gotta go before she does that again. You have to be the one to change your life ok?”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY9AhL73BC
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzwaksEMVO

“Wake up Faye. Look at this,” I shook her vigorously until she jumped up looking out to the place I parked in front of.
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop5DLoK8GW
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQz4HCETLx
“Whoa. Wait where are we?”
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP0qGxNc1K
“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.”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1giBZ7D24
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7yckiaVvN
“There is no way this place is close to the cabin.”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWxDBVJPIj
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oT80rmpbJ
“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.”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjG36rkhck
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOtj6bcniV

“Suit yourself.”

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.
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JKzOY9o1a
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuXtivuMR3
“What do you think?”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZcTaVu93K
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOrOtLAEy9
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?”
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUNFozpr3y
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.”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc57ftm7FEO
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAQsGtkoCk
“Not startled but I like your personal touch.”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7qG6SPrpJ
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVmlyuWYLr
“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.”
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiSTWVCLWB
When he neared, Faye lent out her hand first, “Faye and this is my soon to be wife, Cleo.”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPgk933zDu
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKBKENxurF
I shook his hand next a bit too eagerly, “Hi nice to meet you.”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5xDBj45LL
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYxZDSUdIX
“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.”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtPnr2B621
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aYh0Nvcsy
“I was just about to ask if we’d have to hire our own but it’d be great to have you.”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH1hZAJgdT
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0WmOxSehQ
“Do people normally just wander into this place?”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsiMkW6imS
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmjdG40vEV
“Yes Ms. soon to be wife. Only the best eyes catch our place.”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdybsdxwZ1
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqPmSUIdrn
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.”
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcgfTRTR9K
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.”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GGfVEmafK
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWu2F3mq7i
“And I'll be awaiting that call. This really would be the perfect place.”
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJlkrVU6dR
“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.”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ssxj4izyR
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch4tEGA0PD
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?”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmxycKyObP
319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvNKdNtC6E
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.”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvtTVxag2T
