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…”226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVKyPnMVtC
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSEqEuc3Lg
“They were driving me crazy. …I'm sorry.”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtigrLfpDZl
“You need to let up.”226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRy4AZt75oD
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6E8dTRrMoY
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!”226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3k8xzZTy9

“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.”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE0iCh74Gf
“Your giving her the benefit of a doubt.”226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95IcYcAWtF
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqC1Inr6Y2U
“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.”226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLcjlUvCt5
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfSO72FIOY
“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.”226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ieBRzevJc
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ37shtk5kt
“I know and I'm sorry. Maybe this place will be good this time.”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kQflMj97K
“I hope so.”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyZwVCYhR2
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.”226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkOYEEjcWL
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cT9ZqxGa5
“We’ll see.”226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxM9Lkiy2FA
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUyBRx1lmi
“It does sound wonderful doesn’t it?”226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiPmMK3eC9
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG99MnITTi
“Like a dream honey. And it’s within our budget?”226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbLkNkVLV7
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqIc3nxjPh
“Actually under it Ms. Hart. “226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZx9qRxj3t
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclv4VA2qg5
“Sounds sketchy.”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxchI27arO
“Every single one we've been to sounded sketchy to you.”226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLHkhwFHWN
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGyqseu59Y
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.”226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuB7AzrIm4g
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoalmOuYeSh
“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.”226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iNHW9DFeX
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a1T6HJpqu
“And I think you already know my answer.”226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWS2laaMNK
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVXlSUTrnr
“I’m sorry Ms. Hart and to you also Ms. King. I can still find some other destinations for you.”226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsXAuZKYMP
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakd4NDSsJN
“No, I've by now lost interest. Let’s go Cleo.”226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfvj3pAh34
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqG1PYtjHsS
“I’ll drop off a check for your time later on.”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5S0v8QeFQg
“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?”226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqGXIHVm3x
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW5CfpQjJD
“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.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtAsSmOIU8
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZpgBrc6Tr
“I gotta go before she does that again. You have to be the one to change your life ok?”226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydw0H6w7re

“Wake up Faye. Look at this,” I shook her vigorously until she jumped up looking out to the place I parked in front of.
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfudLl3Rvp

“Whoa. Wait where are we?”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqMZZA4gHq
“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.”226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjJuIrYuvK

“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.”226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsvxhjbrAn

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.
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiFk8l7Kox
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNgt4VUYBm
“What do you think?”226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykzhnmgqD1
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISIVyf8xuH
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?”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs83wx4wDqw
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.”226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucG9aCkdw0
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46MWQkSWL7
“Not startled but I like your personal touch.”226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFTnjsRERT
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiAGDXZXW2
“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.”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfL5YnVuCE
When he neared, Faye lent out her hand first, “Faye and this is my soon to be wife, Cleo.”226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7AOfeGFmB
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6lBwFqUtn
I shook his hand next a bit too eagerly, “Hi nice to meet you.”226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ859UUbZ2BL
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2AjwhfGeo
“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.”226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuTYijYvXo
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2DI5LRwnD
“I was just about to ask if we’d have to hire our own but it’d be great to have you.”226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExwB6pcJ9P
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfELwS5JMT8
“Do people normally just wander into this place?”226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmc0vISrO7
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GYhBGq4U9
“Yes Ms. soon to be wife. Only the best eyes catch our place.”226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡate3Z76anL
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASCmzGXCqY
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.”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfCgeJBG4o
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.”226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsij5xKULEx
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsII8uoHjeP
“And I'll be awaiting that call. This really would be the perfect place.”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCglZDCcd15
“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.”226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRRlBE230R
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaKilXtHBm
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?”226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezZoyt8F3v
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKydQfkhLsn
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.”226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayScZwbkFe
