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…”228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndbtpc8QHf
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdomNP8u4V
“They were driving me crazy. …I'm sorry.”
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYadHUS0l1K
“You need to let up.”228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAGOEqWPcP
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGApn8d7q5i
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!”228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBBKyR6dst

“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.”
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5qvQUhtiK
“Your giving her the benefit of a doubt.”228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtagDyCTea
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fANeO274C
“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.”228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJce5TQAP3T
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqVfpYOM4U
“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.”228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CCcReVsyn
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx6VflIDNf
“I know and I'm sorry. Maybe this place will be good this time.”
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHooUVL9hw
“I hope so.”
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K3eUdm8WC
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.”
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA46zrzksDT
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.”228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQBhqLVnEA
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKqRP21DRJ
“We’ll see.”228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIHI9FZArh
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZu5wqp08dN
“It does sound wonderful doesn’t it?”228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0FjAFCtjJ
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGzFRS1GOv
“Like a dream honey. And it’s within our budget?”228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn90FsonT61
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwiv43mwkg
“Actually under it Ms. Hart. “228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdig6jkNXF
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4BtmKBaD3
“Sounds sketchy.”
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYOZF4zMfq
“Every single one we've been to sounded sketchy to you.”228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7DkOVzvS8
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OlO3JwSw0
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.”228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjlbUk6aCc
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKLsUHzb4g
“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.”228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJi5drEHTC
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eVt7EGCti
“And I think you already know my answer.”228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8CvRVn4TY
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojlWENLrAh
“I’m sorry Ms. Hart and to you also Ms. King. I can still find some other destinations for you.”228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolJYdqsi0N
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEd71moN7l3
“No, I've by now lost interest. Let’s go Cleo.”228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyE7jiUvJS
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMoQlPPf7C
“I’ll drop off a check for your time later on.”
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBxuk7IZB0
“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?”228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYvkYGBmf4
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2919w15Ev
“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.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMykPL4yNu
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujgrt6VidR
“I gotta go before she does that again. You have to be the one to change your life ok?”228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7UA9Iym1x
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yCiHjzWy0

“Wake up Faye. Look at this,” I shook her vigorously until she jumped up looking out to the place I parked in front of.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡef5QR7H47m
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdVJwhPOCH
“Whoa. Wait where are we?”
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO2lGZ49uc
“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.”228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvu1X7vcgf
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PIoMKZMnN
“There is no way this place is close to the cabin.”228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02hL0uQy8P
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzynh95DhE
“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.”228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMtPvl3wOz
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmO8sTygkl

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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwDeE6agNq
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLDaJoc7zq
“What do you think?”228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w5DLBMheQ
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKRw6GV3nl
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?”
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwfn1lxCGo
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.”228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuJxuH2t9e
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEAVksIASe
“Not startled but I like your personal touch.”228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6hdhQ7uMp
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96146WaRK4
“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.”
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKy8365TfH
When he neared, Faye lent out her hand first, “Faye and this is my soon to be wife, Cleo.”228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxyVPwEeMz
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXICOq0Mya
I shook his hand next a bit too eagerly, “Hi nice to meet you.”228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH69zlHmGMF
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiRtzfOg7z
“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.”228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL4AxwOjQL
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40PquBiI4m
“I was just about to ask if we’d have to hire our own but it’d be great to have you.”228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXLan4qQwK
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VAum4oGeS
“Do people normally just wander into this place?”228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RajMw2gjO
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIdf9y6hbS
“Yes Ms. soon to be wife. Only the best eyes catch our place.”228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvtk5Zh1DM
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSw39V435S
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.”
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctcJKCKGuI
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.”228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhixfP3o1h
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoNdbPwA2k
“And I'll be awaiting that call. This really would be the perfect place.”
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1idnJ8C4m
“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.”228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2lmLLRvds
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQuOzJOBqn
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?”228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMqGs6RF0r
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uVVcnTkyp
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.”228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11Qjg2Nk1J
