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…”195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi6JFNAzkA
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfGqJqNYhf
“They were driving me crazy. …I'm sorry.”

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!”195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ73ftems4

“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.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMBwXh1zD4
“Your giving her the benefit of a doubt.”195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBTSW6l7Uw

“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.”195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrhfInDFiF
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2DQ561xdh
“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.”195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IwvNRqTTl
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8H2LqzHKcb
“I know and I'm sorry. Maybe this place will be good this time.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j6FiRBZWy
“I hope so.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbH6KhYFBTJ
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.”195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmLchSYmZa
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfM6mqWpae
“We’ll see.”195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvPzxvFjoG

“It does sound wonderful doesn’t it?”195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9mjACv5Yh
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsK9tWA7ZV0
“Like a dream honey. And it’s within our budget?”195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cyJPnPGGA
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh1q9ak8Ij
“Actually under it Ms. Hart. “195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4gw4TUGsp
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFe7KM0DTvI
“Sounds sketchy.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIY1vkP96w
“Every single one we've been to sounded sketchy to you.”195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVATYVrhTPz

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.”195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9SeDW3bNc
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0D00eCcql
“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.”195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVNyRophqd
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KTzKjW9sv
“And I think you already know my answer.”195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE30bTjrHj
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYPzXZYHcj
“I’m sorry Ms. Hart and to you also Ms. King. I can still find some other destinations for you.”195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fC4rU7kyB
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XhnzQypqA
“No, I've by now lost interest. Let’s go Cleo.”195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCKG7joWXo

“I’ll drop off a check for your time later on.”

195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyw4F8kBJA0
“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.195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiuS4VPipU

“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?”

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?”195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO00KT6pPS
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpWA8g92Y9
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?”

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.”195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28tXT8bDgB
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuyTEPfMtj
“Not startled but I like your personal touch.”195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9ZRHDvVlk
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3S4q8joM2
“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.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFZi6zTYY7
When he neared, Faye lent out her hand first, “Faye and this is my soon to be wife, Cleo.”195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUp3lKoqmv
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt7Vv5vHmr
I shook his hand next a bit too eagerly, “Hi nice to meet you.”195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNxB6MoWZM
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1pr3YydRZ
“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.”195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TlmazSQOV

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.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgq7C4fbuKN
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.”195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXF0fjQ2K7
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAiJqpWFFJ
“And I'll be awaiting that call. This really would be the perfect place.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMovGjx3rP
“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.”195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNe5KrRksU

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?”195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaqL5Xvd9K
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqgGxf9WCx
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.”195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBpYbJJxh9
