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…”231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamhvpp76ef
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71f6VdXpnV
“They were driving me crazy. …I'm sorry.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea5KxoOhKz
“You need to let up.”231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiFAoZ4XSZ
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dvmmF3YWJ
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!”231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhw2MH1vwXE

“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.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDVUS5mC0T
“Your giving her the benefit of a doubt.”231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEMZqvadSG
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu7ykK6kWB
“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.”231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxe8M3i2sOY
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdY6a7ylZz
“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.”231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUOM7isKnW
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKZYVPep39
“I know and I'm sorry. Maybe this place will be good this time.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oxAZrdDyH
“I hope so.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNrXGkCEqW
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.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkGXFLKLH3
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.”231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KUGLInsJW
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnompDvRpIY
“We’ll see.”231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDDv1wvIRx
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQyZKbMkid
“It does sound wonderful doesn’t it?”231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJQMZQlAtZ
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUSW96tUib
“Like a dream honey. And it’s within our budget?”231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD1AVeRTSI
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdXh14N3uZ
“Actually under it Ms. Hart. “231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbILXWCPSrI
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6Bfn2FjP5
“Sounds sketchy.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmsk2H7z0M
“Every single one we've been to sounded sketchy to you.”231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDOJadKMkF
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcCOSKelyk
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.”231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHg8virs0c
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz6TbnOF7F
“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.”231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKEHqSwGBU
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUv4blZm1B
“And I think you already know my answer.”231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkMCogz9iA
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi18enFlx6K
“I’m sorry Ms. Hart and to you also Ms. King. I can still find some other destinations for you.”231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RHtaa8HvK
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaIpejb1Iq
“No, I've by now lost interest. Let’s go Cleo.”231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUmPGyWgFE
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hU00KC7gT
“I’ll drop off a check for your time later on.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKihjc9Ti3h
“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?”231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPLYsworJd
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRYMuhqyGH
“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.231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolUdYGlV88
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEfqGE6Hjt
“I gotta go before she does that again. You have to be the one to change your life ok?”231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbst54BH3b
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLE3XOobNox

“Wake up Faye. Look at this,” I shook her vigorously until she jumped up looking out to the place I parked in front of.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzQWiFeexH
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R7w5NfzQW
“Whoa. Wait where are we?”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5hGfnlwuH
“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.”231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlIe9law24
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWOEFW6vr5
“There is no way this place is close to the cabin.”231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1xOXTkwLr
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5H8pgeERP
“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.”231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8j0J70uLG
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJ7FZlEm2w
“I’m driving us back.”

“Suit yourself.”

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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkLSwdZcUZ
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzp82OaOD2e
“What do you think?”231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNe9rWj9hwI
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrISuWc7q9
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?”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYMewT3P9M
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.”231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XzhPlKvCA
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxoqYrTpgF
“Not startled but I like your personal touch.”231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPNQai299c
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LemwDOLz0
“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.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HXDRGGIPg
When he neared, Faye lent out her hand first, “Faye and this is my soon to be wife, Cleo.”231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu6lJXK5Va
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluSjOVPDJF
I shook his hand next a bit too eagerly, “Hi nice to meet you.”231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrywyAhZGPz
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknqCHvFCP3
“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.”231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcVrvZTj8Q
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6km6scAnG
“I was just about to ask if we’d have to hire our own but it’d be great to have you.”231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yi3q9KjLH
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlRCOuMCl3
“Do people normally just wander into this place?”231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJVGdnzeGp
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaZweBClur
“Yes Ms. soon to be wife. Only the best eyes catch our place.”231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKG6BLP1l4
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh59qCnzTH
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.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVavpMVKIf
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.”231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARzCTzH5X4
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhoZ5OlV15
“And I'll be awaiting that call. This really would be the perfect place.”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dpSHa7LbN
“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.”231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA88m0TCQN
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOZGovqdqx
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?”231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadH7lkKFvf
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgy5pP4esb
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.”231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFHzHDq8C9
