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

“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

“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

“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

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.

“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

“Do people normally just wander into this place?”254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1XQQ6s6fk

“Yes Ms. soon to be wife. Only the best eyes catch our place.”254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6iS5rQ9HU

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

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
