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…”194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLuMpOO7Nv
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEGuJvAtaK
“They were driving me crazy. …I'm sorry.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8RF8ynQ7M
“You need to let up.”194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjMewDYTfa
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXLck2Zly8
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!”194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwHsRwoEJV

“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.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l2ysAaRbU
“Your giving her the benefit of a doubt.”194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9wYNfFZtM
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcj8DrZzyl0
“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.”194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJX5vgOhMcq
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FlS0XLPsY
“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.”194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHIwGpGTvV
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3b60Hl6BL
“I know and I'm sorry. Maybe this place will be good this time.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMwe2lz7j1
“I hope so.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcP0wnSFHQm
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.”194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVWYvYbJaV
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIAPtjWQcu
“We’ll see.”194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAB3JNshTQ

“It does sound wonderful doesn’t it?”194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnINCfj0zWZ
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfAWGB2Yms
“Like a dream honey. And it’s within our budget?”194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFSUPNBX0A
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9JaeKspCW
“Actually under it Ms. Hart. “194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHelxJnGgs
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5R9Hw55ot
“Sounds sketchy.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7cS0wy8iA
“Every single one we've been to sounded sketchy to you.”194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnozjp22Cbr
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlhP54whQO
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.”194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzFalgNLWJ
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41q5C9EKjQ
“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.”194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RpiRiCt4E
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50izuHOsxF
“And I think you already know my answer.”194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasC6cC0qdY
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYfRdcA1g1
“I’m sorry Ms. Hart and to you also Ms. King. I can still find some other destinations for you.”194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTuSdwhKyr
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTr8xJCtwD
“No, I've by now lost interest. Let’s go Cleo.”194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1boDLySkt
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLF6JpQNmqj
“I’ll drop off a check for your time later on.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMKonIeU7d
“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?”194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuYiR6Tgjl
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7e8yKUwsUP
“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.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAvLtjEfjC
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiv04H2iJV
“I gotta go before she does that again. You have to be the one to change your life ok?”194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU91oCr7cq

“Wake up Faye. Look at this,” I shook her vigorously until she jumped up looking out to the place I parked in front of.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmSZjrIloL
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pVBCTe7J0
“Whoa. Wait where are we?”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0Ud4xMEoH
“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.”194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKkAq3ZKJ0

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?”194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzTSPJfHZ0
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAToXUxG2u
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?”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewbvq9M6wg
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.”194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUH5MqPqUt
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyzJCFoSLz
“Not startled but I like your personal touch.”194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenm5p2GGIq
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOYGrABT6B
“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.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2rlgOmLKw
When he neared, Faye lent out her hand first, “Faye and this is my soon to be wife, Cleo.”194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgHcDcoEyA
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEImDcWCfQ
I shook his hand next a bit too eagerly, “Hi nice to meet you.”194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY35xXClcY
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYvdd0dXEj
“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.”194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkSq2VCeqN
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1LfJPJfHA

“Do people normally just wander into this place?”194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevrf7GYF9H

“Yes Ms. soon to be wife. Only the best eyes catch our place.”194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2s7qWiiKu
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7H27IVGRN
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.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OckP0J57U
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.”194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezhn8D6SbE
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM8Ew8sZTp
“And I'll be awaiting that call. This really would be the perfect place.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYegY1AbojX
“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.”194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ97QwX2pHr
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGImoodXzWr
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?”194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1pIbMvHL5
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vdK96TVNU
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.”194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiuwtIcNVW
