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…”229Please respect copyright.PENANAzta9XnKrS8
229Please respect copyright.PENANAGqfE9DFNlg
“They were driving me crazy. …I'm sorry.”
229Please respect copyright.PENANAhNchoNuera
“You need to let up.”229Please respect copyright.PENANAERKu9fDQyW
229Please respect copyright.PENANAgBg0kpPCtB
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!”229Please respect copyright.PENANAzQ8Q1bhVpm
229Please respect copyright.PENANAU3qL1t6f70
“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.”
229Please respect copyright.PENANAC57w4kT9jP
“Your giving her the benefit of a doubt.”229Please respect copyright.PENANAiBsQh44LpO
229Please respect copyright.PENANAJJQn91sUuY
“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.”229Please respect copyright.PENANASywnGb7w7o
229Please respect copyright.PENANA5yMxz9hjf9
“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.”229Please respect copyright.PENANADBFLABd6bg
229Please respect copyright.PENANAD4ntqqAhIs
“I know and I'm sorry. Maybe this place will be good this time.”
229Please respect copyright.PENANAWu0xrF1kKE
“I hope so.”
229Please respect copyright.PENANA603hLI9vwP
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.”
229Please respect copyright.PENANAwozZwLMNaa
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.”229Please respect copyright.PENANArDdWMD07q2
229Please respect copyright.PENANAkSoiqhdpGO
“We’ll see.”229Please respect copyright.PENANAJbu0D7Q0in
229Please respect copyright.PENANAZBJVA3rVYG
“It does sound wonderful doesn’t it?”229Please respect copyright.PENANAT6eEP3FGRg
229Please respect copyright.PENANAgpaV82kDVx
“Like a dream honey. And it’s within our budget?”229Please respect copyright.PENANAyInS3HdN2f
229Please respect copyright.PENANAdajClZd5GN
“Actually under it Ms. Hart. “229Please respect copyright.PENANAzCBzarjmX5
229Please respect copyright.PENANAHKlrcOdr2C
“Sounds sketchy.”
229Please respect copyright.PENANANX0NSZqX0A
“Every single one we've been to sounded sketchy to you.”229Please respect copyright.PENANAL4RYEAAJrU
229Please respect copyright.PENANAgiT2JjWvol
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.”229Please respect copyright.PENANAzsQ3Xzesxl
229Please respect copyright.PENANARPCcm0BbAS
“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.”229Please respect copyright.PENANAVY9pcCh3Ui
229Please respect copyright.PENANAQZQCG6B3SI
“And I think you already know my answer.”229Please respect copyright.PENANAAletmnKKPv
229Please respect copyright.PENANA1NgZoaOL5o
“I’m sorry Ms. Hart and to you also Ms. King. I can still find some other destinations for you.”229Please respect copyright.PENANAFzaULRyfQ8
229Please respect copyright.PENANA1IJAbD8yCu
“No, I've by now lost interest. Let’s go Cleo.”229Please respect copyright.PENANArqeRtBIpoa
229Please respect copyright.PENANASAVMBkXHBB
“I’ll drop off a check for your time later on.”
229Please respect copyright.PENANAd6OgYX8uiL
“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?”229Please respect copyright.PENANAIRhPb0bVjw
229Please respect copyright.PENANAJxhG1nEMGQ
“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.229Please respect copyright.PENANA2r2HHVUebc
229Please respect copyright.PENANA1Pth35qWSJ
“I gotta go before she does that again. You have to be the one to change your life ok?”229Please respect copyright.PENANA1lteQf5M1a
229Please respect copyright.PENANAJyJnR4MnpJ
“Thank you.”229Please respect copyright.PENANAQsLekpaysR

“Wake up Faye. Look at this,” I shook her vigorously until she jumped up looking out to the place I parked in front of.
229Please respect copyright.PENANADuijDHX6uy
229Please respect copyright.PENANA9SIlPdBn2U
“Whoa. Wait where are we?”
229Please respect copyright.PENANAjag0QolGjh
“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.”229Please respect copyright.PENANA3LZakwZgvK
229Please respect copyright.PENANA3kEip7ysoA
“There is no way this place is close to the cabin.”229Please respect copyright.PENANAvSheFBNeDB
229Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZngDloBpt
“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.”229Please respect copyright.PENANAoSGZh9jygE
229Please respect copyright.PENANAX1QZB49vCa
“I’m driving us back.”
229Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZCJyhLiQG
“Suit yourself.”
229Please respect copyright.PENANA181j2zb85f
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.
229Please respect copyright.PENANAsQ8yXYongt
229Please respect copyright.PENANAIlAmuTnX19
“What do you think?”229Please respect copyright.PENANAIWOaW3iitl
229Please respect copyright.PENANAAGRzjGKxfW
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?”
229Please respect copyright.PENANAwBfNGLM1c9
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.”229Please respect copyright.PENANAUieQBGqU5O
229Please respect copyright.PENANAm6v9FsDWEg
“Not startled but I like your personal touch.”229Please respect copyright.PENANAoj8frjtODR
229Please respect copyright.PENANAZDm3rXJKAL
“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.”
229Please respect copyright.PENANAYs0kXHyahd
When he neared, Faye lent out her hand first, “Faye and this is my soon to be wife, Cleo.”229Please respect copyright.PENANAJmQX8Pvx9R
229Please respect copyright.PENANAXX0J8OjXgY
I shook his hand next a bit too eagerly, “Hi nice to meet you.”229Please respect copyright.PENANAtQJfYvqJmg
229Please respect copyright.PENANA64Kbe1cm41
“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.”229Please respect copyright.PENANAJzme5Wuvgx
229Please respect copyright.PENANAO1CnGDfRI7
“I was just about to ask if we’d have to hire our own but it’d be great to have you.”229Please respect copyright.PENANAgHLhFTXJXR
229Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9MOjEhZZr
“Do people normally just wander into this place?”229Please respect copyright.PENANArB4hcaYDj4
229Please respect copyright.PENANAbmrGRfwRj8
“Yes Ms. soon to be wife. Only the best eyes catch our place.”229Please respect copyright.PENANAK1VlKkenRr
229Please respect copyright.PENANA6sijsgBVVG
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.”
229Please respect copyright.PENANABiAyuV4mCV
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.”229Please respect copyright.PENANAjuLH4opiAK
229Please respect copyright.PENANA6tt0du3Its
“And I'll be awaiting that call. This really would be the perfect place.”
229Please respect copyright.PENANAYuzWFC2rsF
“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.”229Please respect copyright.PENANAjFC81GbzYc
229Please respect copyright.PENANATk4upGCu64
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?”229Please respect copyright.PENANAqHZRvLChAQ
229Please respect copyright.PENANAnkJzgtYd2z
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.”229Please respect copyright.PENANAReBM3PaWzx
