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…”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrBpOH6Tkw
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O2XDv8Pss
“They were driving me crazy. …I'm sorry.”
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjcdn2kJvX
“You need to let up.”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxDzlVqqQa
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8VLPqojlp
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!”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmb2qttCYJx

“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.”
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6F15PDG5E
“Your giving her the benefit of a doubt.”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSYImril0n
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmgdtqKnSS
“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.”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWLuJgOySh
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh3FcMB4HT
“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.”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQKIHouj6o
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjbtka9CYi
“I know and I'm sorry. Maybe this place will be good this time.”
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMUpLsc9Pf
“I hope so.”
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENMirCpx6O
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.”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinOOMs8iCt
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLXgGa27s2
“We’ll see.”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69Xmf07p7q
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf1d3Lkbrp
“It does sound wonderful doesn’t it?”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Fy37DJydU
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzE1kdHooy
“Like a dream honey. And it’s within our budget?”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCbuJng4PY
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnuSXHPeBR
“Actually under it Ms. Hart. “306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6iPgujCkW
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEM6Aoi7jJ
“Sounds sketchy.”
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RmssoB1IK
“Every single one we've been to sounded sketchy to you.”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhAkrMrn20
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97Vdm6u4ZH
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.”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcdUa7GzVE
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrjkiUtV3x
“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.”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsPz4pihcR
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkKjFmsMZZ
“And I think you already know my answer.”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Bc5U3xfVo
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzehJunhQ8a
“I’m sorry Ms. Hart and to you also Ms. King. I can still find some other destinations for you.”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOLH0uK7hq
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EPzIQ3CE0
“No, I've by now lost interest. Let’s go Cleo.”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ65pXkfq54
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGEa9RTO5r
“I’ll drop off a check for your time later on.”
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVfOj19gVT
“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?”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndzaVN4yG0
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRhJhlbJZT
“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.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVxuRxVwCJ
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueTsrhkDF7
“I gotta go before she does that again. You have to be the one to change your life ok?”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqLmnTcFR3

“Wake up Faye. Look at this,” I shook her vigorously until she jumped up looking out to the place I parked in front of.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzsTcYw3JG
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaNnWZE31d
“Whoa. Wait where are we?”
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBi7hjPodva
“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.”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWFR5ZJx6X
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNfGfzFo1t
“There is no way this place is close to the cabin.”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwe1Cgs9Rm4
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxFv5QEDqg
“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.”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGUZhHkry0
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOKBanUaNv

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.
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LSyaEdaI0
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYucP8y5l8
“What do you think?”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2Ya0JGRox
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyUTTfs57D
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?”
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I5HG41ubZ
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.”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6TeMKMFI6
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjSbS006Ii
“Not startled but I like your personal touch.”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlGN3V10Ui
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qXugkJOTH
“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.”
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfY8lYrk02a
When he neared, Faye lent out her hand first, “Faye and this is my soon to be wife, Cleo.”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePgxg1gtW9
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCHVs4EIWS
I shook his hand next a bit too eagerly, “Hi nice to meet you.”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhorCEAlWon
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ADHBIIo9L
“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.”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3hVDT2NS8
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ52Q8gcRe
“I was just about to ask if we’d have to hire our own but it’d be great to have you.”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDevlb1GP4
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09ya2zLliO
“Do people normally just wander into this place?”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYw8jYQxcDV
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZdJ9vF0vM
“Yes Ms. soon to be wife. Only the best eyes catch our place.”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtfkRbVKp3
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMltn2cBu8
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.”
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4E9ZfEYFCl
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.”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8oiLKxVzM
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCmxWYv6on
“And I'll be awaiting that call. This really would be the perfect place.”
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qpuRRQRcJ
“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.”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz0QpDuO5u
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcnfyUxx2f
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?”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwi22AzPDX
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCSB2YMhbX
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.”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfnaatcx6O
