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…”107Please respect copyright.PENANAQzapIEo7u8
107Please respect copyright.PENANAhBtxamD5il
“They were driving me crazy. …I'm sorry.”
107Please respect copyright.PENANA7CBF3k5W0H
“You need to let up.”107Please respect copyright.PENANARWpMwpcmYp
107Please respect copyright.PENANAR7FmIxEjFB
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!”107Please respect copyright.PENANA5JYU0crezg

“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.”
107Please respect copyright.PENANATcCT20QnSZ
“Your giving her the benefit of a doubt.”107Please respect copyright.PENANADfYAsCksgE
107Please respect copyright.PENANAZIgxH5j1Qm
“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.”107Please respect copyright.PENANAnxH1NnRk0g
107Please respect copyright.PENANAwcGcFQttlJ
“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.”107Please respect copyright.PENANAZKxGU8wtY8
107Please respect copyright.PENANAd6zKqsRX2G
“I know and I'm sorry. Maybe this place will be good this time.”
107Please respect copyright.PENANANj4HzwoNjT
“I hope so.”
107Please respect copyright.PENANAZVjCeVHkVZ
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.”
107Please respect copyright.PENANAjsQiK7dlUP
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.”107Please respect copyright.PENANAhEKX5ULx2X
107Please respect copyright.PENANAPcJRI3518k
“We’ll see.”107Please respect copyright.PENANAAQcMZdLVdM
107Please respect copyright.PENANApeZCS2trFB
“It does sound wonderful doesn’t it?”107Please respect copyright.PENANABMbGJOowDy
107Please respect copyright.PENANAN3ZVbhojD4
“Like a dream honey. And it’s within our budget?”107Please respect copyright.PENANAUwlppY6e3A
107Please respect copyright.PENANABVJCeRRZeK
“Actually under it Ms. Hart. “107Please respect copyright.PENANAi6Q7E9LiiJ
107Please respect copyright.PENANA8L29ZQiIgT
“Sounds sketchy.”
107Please respect copyright.PENANAZRzkj2nTsf
“Every single one we've been to sounded sketchy to you.”107Please respect copyright.PENANAwPG52Jqbnf
107Please respect copyright.PENANAuVu1WODcf5
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.”107Please respect copyright.PENANA3sY8f0tYAx
107Please respect copyright.PENANAaNjYyqyYB6
“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.”107Please respect copyright.PENANAffd0j3choJ
107Please respect copyright.PENANACsRxh62vwr
“And I think you already know my answer.”107Please respect copyright.PENANA3B7cxob37U
107Please respect copyright.PENANAL1ys2XY5JV
“I’m sorry Ms. Hart and to you also Ms. King. I can still find some other destinations for you.”107Please respect copyright.PENANAta5oI7eXKd
107Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2A2hTxQ4J
“No, I've by now lost interest. Let’s go Cleo.”107Please respect copyright.PENANAIyjLHGGE8o
107Please respect copyright.PENANAl654beAUgo
“I’ll drop off a check for your time later on.”
107Please respect copyright.PENANA3fDh4s3X2z
“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?”107Please respect copyright.PENANAlDr8uX1XTu
107Please respect copyright.PENANAbtmbqIUQME
“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.107Please respect copyright.PENANALbjOmVJ15c
107Please respect copyright.PENANAg8x9LuYZUd
“I gotta go before she does that again. You have to be the one to change your life ok?”107Please respect copyright.PENANASvFYD2PPlu
107Please respect copyright.PENANAtNK76utv3o
“Thank you.”107Please respect copyright.PENANAp1L5XTctLZ

“Wake up Faye. Look at this,” I shook her vigorously until she jumped up looking out to the place I parked in front of.
107Please respect copyright.PENANAT0TSNJzdau
107Please respect copyright.PENANAple0BqMlwk
“Whoa. Wait where are we?”
107Please respect copyright.PENANAvWREIjmw6B
“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.”107Please respect copyright.PENANAzR3TRtjcvH
107Please respect copyright.PENANAGH8i1kYetp
“There is no way this place is close to the cabin.”107Please respect copyright.PENANA5vpPx87pIe
107Please respect copyright.PENANAnfIhpYphoX
“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.”107Please respect copyright.PENANAWPNzEGMsck
107Please respect copyright.PENANASvPZgoxCqw
“I’m driving us back.”
107Please respect copyright.PENANAlSduV9Qvtn
“Suit yourself.”
107Please respect copyright.PENANAI8tER7e37C
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.
107Please respect copyright.PENANAd2AQMZjkx8
107Please respect copyright.PENANA7YcrR7HKhH
“What do you think?”107Please respect copyright.PENANATvibVlDWep
107Please respect copyright.PENANAEB01UUt1Ob
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?”
107Please respect copyright.PENANAQB0kzIbY1V
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.”107Please respect copyright.PENANAjIgjEAVAa2
107Please respect copyright.PENANAmLPcrb2Z09
“Not startled but I like your personal touch.”107Please respect copyright.PENANA1epdxTPXt9
107Please respect copyright.PENANAnKlUwWT8PF
“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.”
107Please respect copyright.PENANAIWF4heRsIo
When he neared, Faye lent out her hand first, “Faye and this is my soon to be wife, Cleo.”107Please respect copyright.PENANAa3LI3xv6Bu
107Please respect copyright.PENANARVrpvQUCP0
I shook his hand next a bit too eagerly, “Hi nice to meet you.”107Please respect copyright.PENANAs4ksKD3l8F
107Please respect copyright.PENANAfhsW47nvBT
“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.”107Please respect copyright.PENANAzuFvK6PeCH
107Please respect copyright.PENANAezdQMT2PgY
“I was just about to ask if we’d have to hire our own but it’d be great to have you.”107Please respect copyright.PENANAvkkH6zwkDZ
107Please respect copyright.PENANAtNUpNBsd47
“Do people normally just wander into this place?”107Please respect copyright.PENANAM3TKLJwD6p
107Please respect copyright.PENANAejfu7xuRek
“Yes Ms. soon to be wife. Only the best eyes catch our place.”107Please respect copyright.PENANAf1wRelcOf6
107Please respect copyright.PENANAga35FkFTQh
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.”
107Please respect copyright.PENANAYjeDIjNV4d
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.”107Please respect copyright.PENANAIhu1nRj57c
107Please respect copyright.PENANAkKVPimBvQa
“And I'll be awaiting that call. This really would be the perfect place.”
107Please respect copyright.PENANAhVJ5jNL0Kx
“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.”107Please respect copyright.PENANA5haYMo0vyf
107Please respect copyright.PENANA9x10IY374P
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?”107Please respect copyright.PENANAmvJGoZbCOg
107Please respect copyright.PENANADK59ZdiG9n
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.”107Please respect copyright.PENANAAFZJ6JZUuE
