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…”259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9TE6usMhy
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUavGsKytY
“They were driving me crazy. …I'm sorry.”

“You need to let up.”259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4zxNJZgOv

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!”259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88Pw36rsHu

“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.”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuQlj32s1x
“Your giving her the benefit of a doubt.”259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsw3P91M6b

“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.”259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f2Etcs3je
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4UsZwsaw2
“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.”259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0S5DYiepv
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ23Ocb78r6
“I know and I'm sorry. Maybe this place will be good this time.”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWuvTixJ9n
“I hope so.”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ3UnlW7k5
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.”259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkPMyubp3z
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIFmUE5FrK
“We’ll see.”259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy91mh0mFAv

“It does sound wonderful doesn’t it?”259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NmCuDshdD
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajaCaQnz73
“Like a dream honey. And it’s within our budget?”259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgttd6svhys
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fW4T5drOt
“Actually under it Ms. Hart. “259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ED5i7TA3o
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAhB4XzBji
“Sounds sketchy.”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqWpMbpC9F
“Every single one we've been to sounded sketchy to you.”259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPbnSXItOW
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcPUYVJhap
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.”259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41RCfTCe9q
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInNtGSNxDn
“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.”259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qG0C475ZS
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMrCMEKCZk
“And I think you already know my answer.”259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TdBbYIjE4
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnSPgGCKJz
“I’m sorry Ms. Hart and to you also Ms. King. I can still find some other destinations for you.”259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMxxezTdgb
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA9fpBqHQK
“No, I've by now lost interest. Let’s go Cleo.”259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePDKP4KuK1
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktk2celzLa
“I’ll drop off a check for your time later on.”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmxEL931dg
“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?”259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoaGrDMWUV
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWi8zFYe1y
“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.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3rnwJoFgS
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYcmrRCJqy
“I gotta go before she does that again. You have to be the one to change your life ok?”259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4f8hYmsBB

“Wake up Faye. Look at this,” I shook her vigorously until she jumped up looking out to the place I parked in front of.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hTf00VdY7
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySPfXYTvyj
“Whoa. Wait where are we?”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkc8CPt3kN
“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.”259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhP8QjKqgP
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo85hmPnISL
“There is no way this place is close to the cabin.”259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxAb5pTab4

“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.”259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhakgf1Jc26

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.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbCN2XfFi9
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwAiszABDK
“What do you think?”259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2keqY3nkwf
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3SS0ntHxW
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?”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4d62SDfdYu
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.”259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYqTjORAL5
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaOR7PpGcz
“Not startled but I like your personal touch.”259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqHAT6Nvyk
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Dic00nAry
“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.”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFkF6kcpZ8
When he neared, Faye lent out her hand first, “Faye and this is my soon to be wife, Cleo.”259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUDdom5aou
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhdJ5zwtYa
I shook his hand next a bit too eagerly, “Hi nice to meet you.”259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTxfGd8x1a
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTyG901han
“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.”259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7wQK09dwQ
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7SKh0NeD9
“I was just about to ask if we’d have to hire our own but it’d be great to have you.”259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC1EIiQgBm
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UVcXGynqD
“Do people normally just wander into this place?”259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74m5j7jt2N
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmsMwqdKLq
“Yes Ms. soon to be wife. Only the best eyes catch our place.”259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JW9y8rC3C
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWx5KhUassC
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.”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0NBY0ns8x
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.”259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlk09BFMff0
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOooxMjfzX
“And I'll be awaiting that call. This really would be the perfect place.”
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTmyMSBoAa
“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.”259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQTKvNYkrj
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJw9FS2XZb
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?”259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcskyrXOlnJ
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57ZkQR2yN2
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.”259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGsmHkeEHn
