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…”165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubCTW0mbYy

“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!”165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TSArS96lP

“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.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd8Q3mNXAZ
“Your giving her the benefit of a doubt.”165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXSpZ1c3GF

“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.”165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHFL2XbizP
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxRhTed46X
“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.”165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLOsTlljAa
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhVG8LQhkc
“I know and I'm sorry. Maybe this place will be good this time.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBurAolFUB
“I hope so.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk07jPnb9JP
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.”165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP1iM8Wtqn
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aJp6o7WHQ
“We’ll see.”165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkyyWPnG3c

“It does sound wonderful doesn’t it?”165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6azuAC4SJ

“Like a dream honey. And it’s within our budget?”165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwSxzsyDuT

“Actually under it Ms. Hart. “165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO82KZYjZL
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UMzqNvtmP
“Sounds sketchy.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPmuOEsz42

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.”165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBDIfXAIed
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcOpxK4zC0
“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.”165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI47kX4Pcau
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2gaokzjvR
“And I think you already know my answer.”165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwLX4JCxuN

“I’m sorry Ms. Hart and to you also Ms. King. I can still find some other destinations for you.”165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUt6xz6Khx

“I’ll drop off a check for your time later on.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhRNwZwT5P
“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?”165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICeUzEDPlN
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1F2aGM8Wb
“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.165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Sm5OTnbUy
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKkYGAnzeb
“I gotta go before she does that again. You have to be the one to change your life ok?”165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonaSQEe5NH

“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?”165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUzRgJTa33
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YBI0Xwlmh
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.”165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHccw4xAwq7
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCbjA0QYo3
“Not startled but I like your personal touch.”165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYoJsm8cyA
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZrwR0Zq1b
“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.”

When he neared, Faye lent out her hand first, “Faye and this is my soon to be wife, Cleo.”165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIBwFxMrmK
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IQzyaKLaQ
I shook his hand next a bit too eagerly, “Hi nice to meet you.”165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfTrcjOL5Q
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wKrWP1oEx
“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.”165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzxGPW3zEY

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.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEY967f9xz6
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.”165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNdJ9K3JUq
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vtJJZUcOR
“And I'll be awaiting that call. This really would be the perfect place.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUO8zGN5U9
“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.”165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUA2rk9D3M
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr1kWgill8
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?”165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmL2THDLG7i
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5izGlaRSOK
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.”165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOcZuperDl
