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…”235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3t3HqPLQX
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBNQYDHrSu
“They were driving me crazy. …I'm sorry.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LCVW35hgm
“You need to let up.”235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMhS2QG83i
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ77Ln8jgI
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!”235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8a6wNzn8Kq

“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.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7XdpLkUQl
“Your giving her the benefit of a doubt.”235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFJrbbubCe
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWKsVtDYtM
“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.”235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5WR0ZyhWB
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIGstOf3vk
“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.”235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAN0Z4MsWp
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KvhJUivxE
“I know and I'm sorry. Maybe this place will be good this time.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMRhbuvNU6
“I hope so.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnossEbBkRv
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.”235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYw34CzDlL
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBdVKuA9Wr
“We’ll see.”235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HObU3poq6

“It does sound wonderful doesn’t it?”235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8BDNBToBm
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIW3MN0BZx
“Like a dream honey. And it’s within our budget?”235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sz5V48W77
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96jozftCyR
“Actually under it Ms. Hart. “235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRLsSGxRwL
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQekL2Bjvc
“Sounds sketchy.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4zRdYqcVb
“Every single one we've been to sounded sketchy to you.”235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5cQ8BraBz
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHirhLdfhdy
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.”235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgZwkwXMaj
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXEnWK9HQQ
“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.”235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCp55MQUmy7
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucEuCExgqK
“And I think you already know my answer.”235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAkAgT91CY
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvBNjx4Xbo
“I’m sorry Ms. Hart and to you also Ms. King. I can still find some other destinations for you.”235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1GEYBruZS
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P4PPRRWX4
“No, I've by now lost interest. Let’s go Cleo.”235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvixQgQoPL
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhDAnKO1Ki
“I’ll drop off a check for your time later on.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡse1thY4lrR
“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?”235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSdzkobyWL
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl11dDoQsnI
“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.235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoWPK7j2zU
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzNMH9vYzF
“I gotta go before she does that again. You have to be the one to change your life ok?”235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3N6ed9L5r

“Wake up Faye. Look at this,” I shook her vigorously until she jumped up looking out to the place I parked in front of.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBK6n5afxY1
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthmJKS9z0H
“Whoa. Wait where are we?”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QI26LaEUF
“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.”235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQm859DLIBb

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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7KYb1XbcF
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM7L85wLyL
“What do you think?”235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJekZ4cFILu
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXWGwmS7mL
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?”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdlUERloi7
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.”235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4ErzrILAd
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGdl5xmdWa
“Not startled but I like your personal touch.”235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCw6DQJ8pe
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5a210jmSr
“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.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T2RaPTzaY
When he neared, Faye lent out her hand first, “Faye and this is my soon to be wife, Cleo.”235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw2tVhrLWh
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKjBKWBRyz
I shook his hand next a bit too eagerly, “Hi nice to meet you.”235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGpDxCFD7z
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtJcrofKBW
“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.”235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKckZBlclFd

“Do people normally just wander into this place?”235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC7L2ON447

“Yes Ms. soon to be wife. Only the best eyes catch our place.”235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGpZgq6sCI

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.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvD77xNktz
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.”235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUXEPmJrAa
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXA7EeXjsKI
“And I'll be awaiting that call. This really would be the perfect place.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCSqGpG73y
“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.”235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXKTmmZdt6
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27GWxzPHAp
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?”235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAe7aoVoWZQ
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Otc8an0sj
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.”235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AZ5uheKzJ
