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…”232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohz9mMbTvQ
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5hQP0YbYe
“They were driving me crazy. …I'm sorry.”
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8tb81yAOc
“You need to let up.”232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WpPZevIzN
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEE3S74TT4
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!”232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VJTSnwDSm

“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.”
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7kYSw25js
“Your giving her the benefit of a doubt.”232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuV6jp9nLF
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP1CejQJ5j
“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.”232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32qld467I8
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxEQvxm8oN
“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.”232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcFqWB59dy
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwD3PhJdMx
“I know and I'm sorry. Maybe this place will be good this time.”
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8xj8HrsU0
“I hope so.”
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx03oPs3RWl
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.”
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXO18AUr52
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.”232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvKXMdfagv
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq4tUDBvPl
“We’ll see.”232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo11Bfk3zsR
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7TbZ1E0Mk
“It does sound wonderful doesn’t it?”232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefMMmM9CP2
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJiMn6IdOa
“Like a dream honey. And it’s within our budget?”232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZ2ezcMV6f
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbgfq8509J
“Actually under it Ms. Hart. “232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVfjZ1Z06U
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkooiX7fibP
“Sounds sketchy.”
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwmDwHy9Dh
“Every single one we've been to sounded sketchy to you.”232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlwuaXGOES
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTKScAnAgq
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.”232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZo5algEzMq
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ck4EvsZSg
“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.”232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvaSpdMdjj
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZW5IUbxEQ
“And I think you already know my answer.”232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcSetS4YBE
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbwwHZ1JLJ
“I’m sorry Ms. Hart and to you also Ms. King. I can still find some other destinations for you.”232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAY7M5fe2O7
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb83tqFpZGb
“No, I've by now lost interest. Let’s go Cleo.”232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoM8oFQC41o
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnF247HX2o
“I’ll drop off a check for your time later on.”
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyFTrT9ufM
“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?”232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRUCVTDY9e
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhLRCTKZzq
“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.232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXHtXeFJiM
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNQWDHvRb3
“I gotta go before she does that again. You have to be the one to change your life ok?”232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x3Qe3bNfY
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAbeK4GOgB
“Thank you.”232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlWNRQOIur

“Wake up Faye. Look at this,” I shook her vigorously until she jumped up looking out to the place I parked in front of.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFma4pCWwJj
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBb33bdicP
“Whoa. Wait where are we?”
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAhsQvKMhY
“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.”232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDl0mRw54EK
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtU67mNMg2
“There is no way this place is close to the cabin.”232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHpS7cz1N6
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrhJKvqhJY
“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.”232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6uL3Eh6sy
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszRvrlagW7
“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.
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceflUaVpsC
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlr6P3DFxF
“What do you think?”232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTr9d6Go1b7
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJpwpRTpdh
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?”
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDAd6W92g5
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.”232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqpn6ZzJdw
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCx2mp2vo7
“Not startled but I like your personal touch.”232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkMxr4ADpT
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61WuAUbVgz
“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.”
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YVERF7t4I
When he neared, Faye lent out her hand first, “Faye and this is my soon to be wife, Cleo.”232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG1iA4vFsb
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPUgeVO77Q
I shook his hand next a bit too eagerly, “Hi nice to meet you.”232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5r5zYzADXY
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWILcwJouK
“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.”232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpI5BiqOXQ
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQWs620sYW
“I was just about to ask if we’d have to hire our own but it’d be great to have you.”232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXPjXQK2Sf
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUXPcEVDYK
“Do people normally just wander into this place?”232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzme3mVpjw
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLIadMcdnX
“Yes Ms. soon to be wife. Only the best eyes catch our place.”232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBJm7OVSgQ
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdCS6TXEtK
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.”
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmV0qel6B0C
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.”232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlxL44Ws3i
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5jEAF6G0J
“And I'll be awaiting that call. This really would be the perfect place.”
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHncl8bPISY
“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.”232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpkv405p3E
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPB3pEA4Tv
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?”232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZsHC4srCl
232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyxnqYiRiJ
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.”232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡev1tVikmq6
