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…”237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzz8ULaEi4
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTvHfKuMGL
“They were driving me crazy. …I'm sorry.”

“You need to let up.”237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJd2fbn0qKh
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUWVshQ6pl
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!”237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9YCULsjFl

“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.”
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GmLjOzxc1
“Your giving her the benefit of a doubt.”237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKjHUGdbCy
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5sbkldihm
“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.”237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSWro5TM3Q
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXab0CM6IxQ
“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.”237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWF9Pjyemj
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRIEcbscRP
“I know and I'm sorry. Maybe this place will be good this time.”
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBzsO2Kpal
“I hope so.”
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpadgkPmdnd
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.”237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3sIuPdYNt
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflrNcoITj1
“We’ll see.”237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYNoDVArjh

“It does sound wonderful doesn’t it?”237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgPpBVC6m9
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDVHgljdVN
“Like a dream honey. And it’s within our budget?”237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVQ1iTf3hR
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vR32C6WA0
“Actually under it Ms. Hart. “237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcROkawETh
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWwETEL4OA
“Sounds sketchy.”
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ew5FXqown
“Every single one we've been to sounded sketchy to you.”237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSvwFr4auy
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFybm9BVHIW
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.”237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrbmdZ7zNq
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlTtUV7H0D
“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.”237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm2Pc28pCR
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBU8oBUauTX
“And I think you already know my answer.”237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsgBRRAlBn
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbRM3zBIw3
“I’m sorry Ms. Hart and to you also Ms. King. I can still find some other destinations for you.”237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5h8mNfuUT
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5X3sBXLyX
“No, I've by now lost interest. Let’s go Cleo.”237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF6rOaRHga
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZOthfeLeu
“I’ll drop off a check for your time later on.”
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡja2U3yqzTm
“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?”237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRePwdLBGQ
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKvFSIHIzx
“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.237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6jv9vKwWs
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPN2iCoFDv
“I gotta go before she does that again. You have to be the one to change your life ok?”237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniIaJKY0be

“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?”
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJ1cAkNf51
“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.”237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEmNOxc1L9

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.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEDG2iKg5n
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4j3XdVyJC
“What do you think?”237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeXMMuNHQB
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRAmur4WjD
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?”
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCzfGAOv3c
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.”237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD7rKv3hhs
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxua15ORe2q
“Not startled but I like your personal touch.”237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5V1Jkjezys
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3NfMaGYF3
“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.”
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡag1TpbPlq6
When he neared, Faye lent out her hand first, “Faye and this is my soon to be wife, Cleo.”237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHy6c4qOa5
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZw26jxKrq
I shook his hand next a bit too eagerly, “Hi nice to meet you.”237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjrDvkq6wj
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNuQuihD2s
“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.”237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOiNaq54uh

“Do people normally just wander into this place?”237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHg7wfs1Ld

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.”
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPabFrDuWf
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.”237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB49jdfIa4A
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVdZxipisF
“And I'll be awaiting that call. This really would be the perfect place.”
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2e4PJuGmxx
“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.”237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wCYVJ6vMY
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsn6Du4BmcR
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?”237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc1EvCHmAk
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaNV64V8hw
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.”237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZIJ5hb8qE
