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…”164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBnq22kJit
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9tFv95e5k
“They were driving me crazy. …I'm sorry.”

“You need to let up.”164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkyrhUEIOO
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gWlK7t6XG
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!”164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ4we8RYn3

“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.”
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38daLggfby
“Your giving her the benefit of a doubt.”164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQLidzz4GR
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCofgfTWaSO
“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.”164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3C441FLjj
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqy4b6uYaI
“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.”164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUIeGhhcEf
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWjLncAPUj
“I know and I'm sorry. Maybe this place will be good this time.”
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l2ml3SYU2
“I hope so.”
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhvdl9uezz
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.”

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.”164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DDu3OcfaW
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66JB01tkUu
“We’ll see.”164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2U42n5KFr3
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DQNi2J8VQ
“It does sound wonderful doesn’t it?”164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheEDvRM3Qn
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHETKT16CT
“Like a dream honey. And it’s within our budget?”164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeorchSLQ1s
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aCkhqKiGT
“Actually under it Ms. Hart. “164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUf65jxDYF
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wbcGobEe8
“Sounds sketchy.”
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1furDkQryg
“Every single one we've been to sounded sketchy to you.”164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqiV0NAoAY
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1UWQQ1MSH
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.”164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3EL1tNXPW
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZBtNGjjrh
“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.”164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdO5C3d3FYJ
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuwpQJYapX
“And I think you already know my answer.”164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2ukTqmiwM
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xIJHvSsL4
“I’m sorry Ms. Hart and to you also Ms. King. I can still find some other destinations for you.”164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7BLYyJiaH
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC1g1FI07i
“No, I've by now lost interest. Let’s go Cleo.”164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxl7ywGfR8i
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCgDruoqTC
“I’ll drop off a check for your time later on.”
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvWHg6irb9
“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?”164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiaDz5601u
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9gxfAX53y
“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.164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIS0PboRbG
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBfIJQXbhy
“I gotta go before she does that again. You have to be the one to change your life ok?”164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfowwmeOz0E

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

“Whoa. Wait where are we?”
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBduBooiy3A
“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.”164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6SMBcbUIk

“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.”164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQQCLxWMBq

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.
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHJmZytxXk
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM3dN1l8lf
“What do you think?”164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZK8UimJbx
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3zwEgHqak
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?”
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBSwLq606d
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.”164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d8thnijN0
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eKKwj9cJX
“Not startled but I like your personal touch.”164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RhiWQF3Br
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hr9cvbdul
“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.”
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuUsVjrKbz
When he neared, Faye lent out her hand first, “Faye and this is my soon to be wife, Cleo.”164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMELl5xiBM
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEFZF3xJId
I shook his hand next a bit too eagerly, “Hi nice to meet you.”164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDL5vU4diQ
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4lXgpx55m
“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.”164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9VTWxHS6d
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXoksZVjn4

“Do people normally just wander into this place?”164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WSwPDQBSZ
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYbioAZ5kx
“Yes Ms. soon to be wife. Only the best eyes catch our place.”164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLjuqYd6B7
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZqoCvsD61
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.”
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCKRzbG07X
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.”164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBPF9ZeBuH
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuHZKy9wZd
“And I'll be awaiting that call. This really would be the perfect place.”
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDx8OTnhWC
“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.”164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL6v5Q6JvB
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Rjx3Mv0si
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?”164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv76g2RrH4f
164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ8dylLLw1
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.”164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwBNGvMXHa
