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…”298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlB2w95cfXh
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B263G9kSP
“They were driving me crazy. …I'm sorry.”

“You need to let up.”298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh53Z2uc6IL

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!”298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuF0IjkCwt

“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.”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dKrHWWtaa
“Your giving her the benefit of a doubt.”298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71H5BG1Bg6

“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.”298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7gWil09co
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjYgO3Poav
“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.”298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmUCaKMLOc
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdVp2ZU39S
“I know and I'm sorry. Maybe this place will be good this time.”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDj8L6lgSd
“I hope so.”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvdCR3qMnK
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.”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl55hrpzp9J
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.”298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBRKaSKvF5
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy4WJcEkgx
“We’ll see.”298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3ocUj5N67

“It does sound wonderful doesn’t it?”298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfTFfV5AJ6
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfWmSoU9Wj
“Like a dream honey. And it’s within our budget?”298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FyZLMqHoq
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk0GvsmcYu
“Actually under it Ms. Hart. “298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEgspfshw7
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp8V3w7FFl
“Sounds sketchy.”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjk3UjRLvm
“Every single one we've been to sounded sketchy to you.”298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zfYYrwXtl
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OduUdmtMz
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.”298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoDN5JhNmN
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCPLJPdGvB
“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.”298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChxnfhHLQr
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACNrxN3zJj
“And I think you already know my answer.”298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKYjM7gOH6
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9ZrlXSolQ
“I’m sorry Ms. Hart and to you also Ms. King. I can still find some other destinations for you.”298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32GdHFAkt7
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTjZs3QtxY
“No, I've by now lost interest. Let’s go Cleo.”298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3piqKO6XP
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP72DKiFWMu
“I’ll drop off a check for your time later on.”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32O9AYNXxP
“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?”298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGjLjG6EqT
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJgkVOwBhm
“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.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9mtJPVoW8
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1SBuqA2WI

“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?”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtcrs5pqpc
“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.”298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj4OcPR8jg

“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.”298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4oKB0yzT9

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?”298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfEUx8SgEY
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoZnjps4Eq
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?”

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.”298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhymdeVmWoA
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTLl6gVpp6
“Not startled but I like your personal touch.”298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDM0taQ2Fjz
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6hC2TBzHF
“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.”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiylCmTN5U3
When he neared, Faye lent out her hand first, “Faye and this is my soon to be wife, Cleo.”298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eIjPrCwK1
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEoOODjBfC
I shook his hand next a bit too eagerly, “Hi nice to meet you.”298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVNbHh3Dgv
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcpAs6Oo4c
“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.”298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8iqNmUYqe

“Do people normally just wander into this place?”298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuI9NNzVaGX

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.”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJLBYV7Y0E
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.”298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUayuVswYzy
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81fI1n8xTK
“And I'll be awaiting that call. This really would be the perfect place.”
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuobUKM1Yz
“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.”298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBoCY03m2Y
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFTgrn37m1
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?”298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwr3OzS33NI
298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zSSgHJ4cJ
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.”298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0feowECK8V
