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…”234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTMZ2fpM4D
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jUCyyyjEJ
“They were driving me crazy. …I'm sorry.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNWP78E9OF
“You need to let up.”234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoq6dzXDxp
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgoaeNHtLu
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!”234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y4CQgtO3T

“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.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tO8MymY9d
“Your giving her the benefit of a doubt.”234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡae4JwL6Kc1
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonaRXJv1FY
“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.”234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmKkyccKKq
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDbZsw8d5R
“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.”234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMac7cuTASm
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV2uysu55m
“I know and I'm sorry. Maybe this place will be good this time.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg33dypX59K
“I hope so.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUWx2Ejb8P
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.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTmVFN9Ml4
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.”234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsobbLrKrKN
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjGDqwz6Io
“We’ll see.”234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRvTngBfJ9

“It does sound wonderful doesn’t it?”234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2HtCiG2yx
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyo0Tj2m4V
“Like a dream honey. And it’s within our budget?”234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh922IctAIz
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPtm1DDwIL
“Actually under it Ms. Hart. “234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eshuVRSSR
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeMqMyDcse
“Sounds sketchy.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy8Zm74vML
“Every single one we've been to sounded sketchy to you.”234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWXwoI5EJu
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKopJwLBOc
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.”234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydmZmNrrWe
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0anNuksGcr
“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.”234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5T5ElsUwV5
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZeLOd1njl
“And I think you already know my answer.”234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc09g9ohLp
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSAmbO9Omw
“I’m sorry Ms. Hart and to you also Ms. King. I can still find some other destinations for you.”234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzUBR69gfs
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQ6PQzEcC7
“No, I've by now lost interest. Let’s go Cleo.”234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwV0ZjlXDH8
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiyNkyzw1g
“I’ll drop off a check for your time later on.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0H6IBjVVi
“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?”234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXc5M8wPF7
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWLHwL7xX8
“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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LyUxflcFe
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2X9PSYKnl
“I gotta go before she does that again. You have to be the one to change your life ok?”234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0fryCqOcI

“Wake up Faye. Look at this,” I shook her vigorously until she jumped up looking out to the place I parked in front of.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGYQ79fEGm

“Whoa. Wait where are we?”

“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.”234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK650MAXpV

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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41yiPSd8Gh
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BGOUYnE7N
“What do you think?”234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOx2LQMmqE
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduVZobhIUb
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?”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ889TLfjwnt
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.”234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZkA0yfyEq
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPOtHgy9d7
“Not startled but I like your personal touch.”234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5C6wFSgEBp
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeV2MWdSQ8
“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.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMPbWvZFTr
When he neared, Faye lent out her hand first, “Faye and this is my soon to be wife, Cleo.”234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRbeLtq9iZ
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAde1YJRpbj
I shook his hand next a bit too eagerly, “Hi nice to meet you.”234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSvNJAKiJK
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8isbNnOoH
“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.”234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoE9gS3gAw
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51e1TRgxE7
“I was just about to ask if we’d have to hire our own but it’d be great to have you.”234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYY2edSjGl

“Do people normally just wander into this place?”234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JpZ5wRcPT

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.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxsPtrMs9T
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.”234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJNmoGQF2d
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFVsBjOtkq
“And I'll be awaiting that call. This really would be the perfect place.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLY12AruOjI
“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.”234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe3ISmx5Fn
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiuFqnTt7Y
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?”234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJW90H0JmA
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKneA6WImK
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.”234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohmZVlIWUA
