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…”284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJj9sKC3YFF
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXE0AQcjEN
“They were driving me crazy. …I'm sorry.”

“You need to let up.”284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBtmnKKORk
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cdxv2rt3h
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!”284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8uBajXAE3

“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.”
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv5SKEC0No
“Your giving her the benefit of a doubt.”284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4qAr3Od9M

“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.”284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypvdIBCihC
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wbbLN7mZG
“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.”284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfkKJgCa0v
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycsNv3I6tv
“I know and I'm sorry. Maybe this place will be good this time.”
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8492rK4Pd
“I hope so.”
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dgZlyeqNY
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.”
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOgRDxig7l
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.”284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeKC0cpdFL
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLaWQLu8y4
“We’ll see.”284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVFQAdU6CO
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV4WUTRcwW
“It does sound wonderful doesn’t it?”284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5YtILlbLn
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzzx90RfN0
“Like a dream honey. And it’s within our budget?”284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW63nahTzPG
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9up7RQV1UR
“Actually under it Ms. Hart. “284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMqVHAaooA
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuB88w9qAn
“Sounds sketchy.”
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxbbKZ4QW1
“Every single one we've been to sounded sketchy to you.”284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9x6GZTYnZd
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcdDkg1q9B
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.”284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PVcgH5Hkl
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JW9GjbmXm
“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.”284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0rQXuVVe1
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBawdOifB9
“And I think you already know my answer.”284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFFW4HLWsL
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CuBf2z5An
“I’m sorry Ms. Hart and to you also Ms. King. I can still find some other destinations for you.”284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvlOGWk8L6
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqxQsZVRcw
“No, I've by now lost interest. Let’s go Cleo.”284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvuh38M4X2
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Y99tQ724B
“I’ll drop off a check for your time later on.”
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO62WTDBsMF
“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?”284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcqt8Ia7xh
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6UuTKI2Fm
“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.284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NJ35Xkjrg
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCzhAm4Z4l
“I gotta go before she does that again. You have to be the one to change your life ok?”284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1vBcs0zKe

“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?”

“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.”284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnGohcGujr

“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.”284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHJz632YNK

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?”284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyS9h1YUl5
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXqAcrHB7y
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?”
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7qNJ21XlQ
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.”284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGJBtWRY9S
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJwp572ywg
“Not startled but I like your personal touch.”284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6y4h1VJ9v
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy8D1YBn3D
“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.”
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYoUH3RjWK
When he neared, Faye lent out her hand first, “Faye and this is my soon to be wife, Cleo.”284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVADdy1Vo17
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQedbhxCcW
I shook his hand next a bit too eagerly, “Hi nice to meet you.”284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPr6hJB0VK
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g28B3j7Rh
“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.”284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtVqdliQP9

“Do people normally just wander into this place?”284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAZaOKBhDE

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.”
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdGo8cgeEA
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.”284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HUNcWnqSw
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0sm8LXiWH
“And I'll be awaiting that call. This really would be the perfect place.”
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb7JNJvGn1
“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.”284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKG8Oij5OyR

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?”284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLnSQGcJfN
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNF8XJi2cp
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.”284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPiamqO878
