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…”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuM8qcKPcRk
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FcJPP8gi8
“They were driving me crazy. …I'm sorry.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOGcYPYX3a
“You need to let up.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarcLdODCrJ
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVtWlLA7Py
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!”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ29tPdyoJM

“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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AhhtT2IVu
“Your giving her the benefit of a doubt.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfHewuflAU
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v0h6IvGKo
“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.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMLpLEwvp6
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkXGdKCV20
“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.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT68PjlRpF
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OFN1htVnB
“I know and I'm sorry. Maybe this place will be good this time.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh3VWmvvvg
“I hope so.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8VTqRkKPk
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.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTHYBcftRl
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxDXpBqYth
“We’ll see.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0FbsxeZ6g
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2DaUlTDxx
“It does sound wonderful doesn’t it?”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5rQV9Oxdc
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAsVKnemB6
“Like a dream honey. And it’s within our budget?”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdCKG8sB3a
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXl0eKy488
“Actually under it Ms. Hart. “153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2bVQImWWH
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLoOBP5l33
“Sounds sketchy.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZ5goFXF9p
“Every single one we've been to sounded sketchy to you.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpR5EdwbYZP
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNjKnPuBGe
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.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98U1wmVcuy
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEfo2sRgQ2
“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.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyXTaY9m5H
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4QoaCyKwa
“And I think you already know my answer.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFuJhPRjU7
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MaLSysyB0
“I’m sorry Ms. Hart and to you also Ms. King. I can still find some other destinations for you.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJbpcIOS9h
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwiAk8BvRB
“No, I've by now lost interest. Let’s go Cleo.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2JHW0aebu
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlR2bafrZG
“I’ll drop off a check for your time later on.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLZkiL7DYi
“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?”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI4B4kQFo4
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NdfXkqkQN
“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.153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXistwfR6hZ
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7G0W3vFczw
“I gotta go before she does that again. You have to be the one to change your life ok?”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VX3HFX2Oq

“Wake up Faye. Look at this,” I shook her vigorously until she jumped up looking out to the place I parked in front of.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGQ7oJQTAY
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZcWWBe6ET
“Whoa. Wait where are we?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDdxI0to83
“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.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7CERIkLSU

“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.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8lCelNkSY

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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYIURqAWQU
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF4k5FGkTF
“What do you think?”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXRKLGs6pT
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6md1CL3sS
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?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1lSAISmiQ
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.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiF6nSSn8oo
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9G023sGiR
“Not startled but I like your personal touch.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhFtrvPUyt
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXfKIGWAX6
“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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhEkDtX8sQ
When he neared, Faye lent out her hand first, “Faye and this is my soon to be wife, Cleo.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48kxZ8kZcE
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJbhTEf002
I shook his hand next a bit too eagerly, “Hi nice to meet you.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFOmtIp7i4
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6ejLosf09
“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.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrc6VwtceA

“Do people normally just wander into this place?”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZOclocb61

“Yes Ms. soon to be wife. Only the best eyes catch our place.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MTDbyKHSp

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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUhFj9WJt2
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.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqgZxzveZI
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECWtgSGRJn
“And I'll be awaiting that call. This really would be the perfect place.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoX61pyTyB
“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.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlN8vGpC2D8
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGw89O7hs7
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?”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIU7Gz4Cit
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJShLg1N4r
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.”153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiFu0l3kw2
