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…”277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlI4OBsxAB
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBKmVGKP0R
“They were driving me crazy. …I'm sorry.”

“You need to let up.”277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tHGAjI9Yl
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A3VMBi2n9
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!”277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJjEEbNLda

“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.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qbbExN5v7
“Your giving her the benefit of a doubt.”277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV6MD4sb2r
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrwiTFZjwm
“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.”277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0pwggjtvu
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhK0bq91SI
“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.”277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebbkQnr2kK
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsxJ5oDyzF
“I know and I'm sorry. Maybe this place will be good this time.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BZ3sxztFa
“I hope so.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwQKA2KIHv
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.”277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLBj5CsauX
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgEVoeWMaq
“We’ll see.”277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOvwlsE7qd
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSKpoRyjTF
“It does sound wonderful doesn’t it?”277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97KBFTeBgS
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSgMlRqggI
“Like a dream honey. And it’s within our budget?”277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2oYLst5tL
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNkxdq3esM
“Actually under it Ms. Hart. “277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NDaYj7lvD
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lrPEnOREZ
“Sounds sketchy.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nvRmZe8vA
“Every single one we've been to sounded sketchy to you.”277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk1S7tzXTF
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjl83HOaxcU
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.”277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnAvYeefl4
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9ammWZ5oo
“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.”277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigaU3XXJrK
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwoDXa2Cnj
“And I think you already know my answer.”277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVzts4mAha
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GqmGqVsVj
“I’m sorry Ms. Hart and to you also Ms. King. I can still find some other destinations for you.”277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡES806WhtUJ
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OIdXM1K9P
“No, I've by now lost interest. Let’s go Cleo.”277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0zQ6SjlM9
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwU4vxDmnA
“I’ll drop off a check for your time later on.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e27ipOIao
“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?”277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Av4Z3hQsH
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs7r9hA3i0
“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.277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwuUegEKMb
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkRaxEi48k
“I gotta go before she does that again. You have to be the one to change your life ok?”277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHEVQNA9VO

“Wake up Faye. Look at this,” I shook her vigorously until she jumped up looking out to the place I parked in front of.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuRwvSMlVf
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaw6oHw0mu
“Whoa. Wait where are we?”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF331DDYmqP
“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.”277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMDQtVq45z

“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.”277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydpG120ePV

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.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK6AdTR7CJ
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSbDJoZ578
“What do you think?”277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi045I3fK8E
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeblPZWevv
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?”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmcxvh9VPK
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.”277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDJbO51Fd7
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JlYL6NkNn
“Not startled but I like your personal touch.”277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekUNlViIuN
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GJxirKKhz
“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.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVXDd7toGl
When he neared, Faye lent out her hand first, “Faye and this is my soon to be wife, Cleo.”277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFV1PVUAlN
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc04LyPb3xY
I shook his hand next a bit too eagerly, “Hi nice to meet you.”277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRRTV7w1UC
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBDdSzZ3g8
“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.”277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGei9C36rjU
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO6Ph7UrBl

277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5warsR4mI
“Do people normally just wander into this place?”277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8li9YoOvV1
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl1tPVezXO
“Yes Ms. soon to be wife. Only the best eyes catch our place.”277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmDCI0Frjl
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp84wac8J6
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.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrhj3mdH2N
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.”277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡII2vSeNeCK
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvvNzv0wKb
“And I'll be awaiting that call. This really would be the perfect place.”
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhdkwYW49U
“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.”277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJZWU7L7g7
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEXNRNOtDH
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?”277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKlZJRfjT1
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYqhNSwjqm
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.”277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjWPyD81kr
