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…”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYxaozpMGY
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceF7kjNFV4
“They were driving me crazy. …I'm sorry.”
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4l1uNPVpH
“You need to let up.”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxorcPC0FH
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFrztDZm5q
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!”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcyc9PrnWf

“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.”
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDkEmG4nBo
“Your giving her the benefit of a doubt.”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH0NIWNr3A
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZNlYMwukZ
“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.”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nEFaoB3Kz
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnep9PTMg2
“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.”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BlGNDtocu
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79GMZdDAzl
“I know and I'm sorry. Maybe this place will be good this time.”
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5RScTgUII
“I hope so.”
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngwUyMTT8z
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.”
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWIDyrR1w5
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.”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VuKSQPfgO
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmg2lZn7U0
“We’ll see.”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbprU7GKHF
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi3Vi7CY24
“It does sound wonderful doesn’t it?”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxj14YNegl
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcK2c5NOL9a
“Like a dream honey. And it’s within our budget?”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg09Fw2dQ18
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV38GleCeMv
“Actually under it Ms. Hart. “236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4Rk3uuEVG
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCx1A0aSpM
“Sounds sketchy.”
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltY3RNfyvF
“Every single one we've been to sounded sketchy to you.”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUAO8TDsAq
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q5HJekAzy
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.”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwJ49wqKyk
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllXI0ETEx3
“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.”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P0zKFO41H
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYlvlcT7XR
“And I think you already know my answer.”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiRDFoVe0I
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJC3UvnE3z
“I’m sorry Ms. Hart and to you also Ms. King. I can still find some other destinations for you.”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABSPlCrfDJ
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJVb1THFqp
“No, I've by now lost interest. Let’s go Cleo.”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVEhJjJn2i
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM8MwvEFBg
“I’ll drop off a check for your time later on.”
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgFn167WzF
“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?”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0PehaRrBh
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBq68uVMic
“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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLyHizRIYA
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NyVbtzAui
“I gotta go before she does that again. You have to be the one to change your life ok?”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMQESrbsw9
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeH2QfNqzKu

“Wake up Faye. Look at this,” I shook her vigorously until she jumped up looking out to the place I parked in front of.
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVmyy7AaOh
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQGKMkEfsr
“Whoa. Wait where are we?”
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMbEjVWK1e
“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.”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca8hW3ooeX
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnVVyy905r
“There is no way this place is close to the cabin.”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWQI8yfhf5
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVChz60cJt
“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.”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvE5CTVfoe
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hUxprG8TR

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.
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNdHVxZbks
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSvIjmebja
“What do you think?”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJxnipoGq5
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5794DYdJe
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?”
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6jVTv7IjM
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.”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY8nRpUqTv
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU4D7zzwwP
“Not startled but I like your personal touch.”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatKRNTjhV0
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb0wo3Zsnw
“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.”
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2UfAS88WL
When he neared, Faye lent out her hand first, “Faye and this is my soon to be wife, Cleo.”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBebXNsfAfR
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQgwLSXXqI
I shook his hand next a bit too eagerly, “Hi nice to meet you.”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMph3E2eGb
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPmZk7VYRZ
“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.”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6nvoeUbMM
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99BI9fcqUq
“I was just about to ask if we’d have to hire our own but it’d be great to have you.”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1SNiGBuav
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRVyLGutAB
“Do people normally just wander into this place?”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTSGk0joym
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcQyKMT8Kh
“Yes Ms. soon to be wife. Only the best eyes catch our place.”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEedE2VimR
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnq0qLLRHhB
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.”
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNOJEdAWaa
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.”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklp6bwzFSc
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGmAU8vQph
“And I'll be awaiting that call. This really would be the perfect place.”
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhukeH8vYPl
“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.”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dZNsIaxCG
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdKx9Us8n8
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?”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrwETdCa3Z
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmSOVVHOZC
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.”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhhjuyz0yS
