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…”230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxP15cQusZ
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZf4yrF0mG
“They were driving me crazy. …I'm sorry.”

“You need to let up.”230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPde9yTefS
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvP498x9FZ
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!”230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9jzHdxLDf

“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.”
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgOo5OnKis
“Your giving her the benefit of a doubt.”230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrUGlA7ZEA

“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.”230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZU5JnTcp6
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYsovt0A6n
“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.”230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mUlEIv0K4
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BGmkZMxhT
“I know and I'm sorry. Maybe this place will be good this time.”
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYDs4sGX4l
“I hope so.”
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtfyvFOmem
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.”
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU4PmBuKnA
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.”230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4f0Rslqtj
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGqcKOowzH
“We’ll see.”230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEC3mKfCVX

“It does sound wonderful doesn’t it?”230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPDJDDcqof
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXa6nHjoLI
“Like a dream honey. And it’s within our budget?”230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYP9wVIAHN
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlacPfbVog
“Actually under it Ms. Hart. “230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawRcqDOphv
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ipV2kTRxG
“Sounds sketchy.”
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpJs3Nt5pK
“Every single one we've been to sounded sketchy to you.”230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmm6IvcQrzk
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzX3OUVrYIT
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.”230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRAuoJhEDb
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ86ud9XY0R
“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.”230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ss6Sily6i
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qPmd5m0q5
“And I think you already know my answer.”230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV6EPCyYcS
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqACdag5Fhn
“I’m sorry Ms. Hart and to you also Ms. King. I can still find some other destinations for you.”230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhllh0dC1S
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXAGZxJmPh
“No, I've by now lost interest. Let’s go Cleo.”230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOiUER8cbV
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6ykOIhAvm
“I’ll drop off a check for your time later on.”
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAV51KENLT
“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?”230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yPGArRFpu
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnBsHz9oYa
“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.230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAelyvRLsH
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vvswJ4Da9
“I gotta go before she does that again. You have to be the one to change your life ok?”230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBPrtidu61

“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?”
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr5qUkcb7T
“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.”230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9kk9zpKw4

“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.”230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fA5aG2BQZ

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?”230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwJPuQmsIF
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6r68spgjBo
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?”
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ibUP81t5F
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.”230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEblU063Cp
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEP1GxZI73
“Not startled but I like your personal touch.”230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZRZd44YNN
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6myg1CETK
“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.”
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09yPf30oeB
When he neared, Faye lent out her hand first, “Faye and this is my soon to be wife, Cleo.”230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjFi3eTbra
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi1g3yvsMF
I shook his hand next a bit too eagerly, “Hi nice to meet you.”230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuHk2CQqyh
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hLJCgLeWR
“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.”230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmozfE5thQ6

“Do people normally just wander into this place?”230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxdF1DRyUh

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.”
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNsE9ff1fs
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.”230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc4btvIShe
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKm3sxOKr9M
“And I'll be awaiting that call. This really would be the perfect place.”
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPsf1R6xDG
“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.”230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaahFP8yQcE

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?”230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65TjwGf8Jl
230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckOQ04X1ho
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.”230Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfTSSThrYL
