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…”335Please respect copyright.PENANAZzt8pSHlMv
335Please respect copyright.PENANAhWeMkyNpAR
“They were driving me crazy. …I'm sorry.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANA5Nmd687tor
“You need to let up.”335Please respect copyright.PENANA7uDNz6rlPl
335Please respect copyright.PENANAyUUk4M1JJa
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!”335Please respect copyright.PENANAhoclSmh0wX
335Please respect copyright.PENANAjaY6dlOJcA
“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.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAp8Edo9llU9
“Your giving her the benefit of a doubt.”335Please respect copyright.PENANAqiVG8fWdJL
335Please respect copyright.PENANApbRn9ZDKwv
“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.”335Please respect copyright.PENANARC70vK5OAU
335Please respect copyright.PENANAGQLcNygzYz
“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.”335Please respect copyright.PENANApPaQo39GdC
335Please respect copyright.PENANApoyEPAhYiu
“I know and I'm sorry. Maybe this place will be good this time.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAWEhidVytzS
“I hope so.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANA5zCOiiwRKw
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.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAzeFUIhU3XM
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.”335Please respect copyright.PENANARZtix5YzBl
335Please respect copyright.PENANAz5thrZD3Qd
“We’ll see.”335Please respect copyright.PENANAt0eJE38MMb
335Please respect copyright.PENANAopRLFliJef
“It does sound wonderful doesn’t it?”335Please respect copyright.PENANAFIagjL07BH
335Please respect copyright.PENANAHMphg5rtCi
“Like a dream honey. And it’s within our budget?”335Please respect copyright.PENANAH4B577i7Kg
335Please respect copyright.PENANAllFNyHmyHP
“Actually under it Ms. Hart. “335Please respect copyright.PENANAfFBtZouZRJ
335Please respect copyright.PENANAzzWTcf66eI
“Sounds sketchy.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAJuR0MUdo97
“Every single one we've been to sounded sketchy to you.”335Please respect copyright.PENANAX7TMqHnQw4
335Please respect copyright.PENANAkVemRoltjW
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.”335Please respect copyright.PENANAAP4AikVVex
335Please respect copyright.PENANAWDw6DI45Ns
“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.”335Please respect copyright.PENANApvwhqJP2xh
335Please respect copyright.PENANAEDuAgCnIBJ
“And I think you already know my answer.”335Please respect copyright.PENANABAFHAnQQOz
335Please respect copyright.PENANAD7wwVymvuZ
“I’m sorry Ms. Hart and to you also Ms. King. I can still find some other destinations for you.”335Please respect copyright.PENANAMvT24zIr6A
335Please respect copyright.PENANAq2Q6zlec2f
“No, I've by now lost interest. Let’s go Cleo.”335Please respect copyright.PENANAXJqnApT2RK
335Please respect copyright.PENANAbEvNwA2qhi
“I’ll drop off a check for your time later on.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAoqW4TsU8U1
“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?”335Please respect copyright.PENANAQdg2scbHPi
335Please respect copyright.PENANABNuGcHuRMi
“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.335Please respect copyright.PENANA01d2wJJWHB
335Please respect copyright.PENANAzWR67JPyuj
“I gotta go before she does that again. You have to be the one to change your life ok?”335Please respect copyright.PENANAd9Jq1r0Qqj
335Please respect copyright.PENANAA6UmfGAyVY
“Thank you.”335Please respect copyright.PENANA4yLubXkHqO

“Wake up Faye. Look at this,” I shook her vigorously until she jumped up looking out to the place I parked in front of.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAb9YyVqvvtO
335Please respect copyright.PENANAFY9kqfVA0x
“Whoa. Wait where are we?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANA7ugqz5vQ8b
“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.”335Please respect copyright.PENANAIkkftCTN7U
335Please respect copyright.PENANAyNnCeinxmI
“There is no way this place is close to the cabin.”335Please respect copyright.PENANAWmWgeJIMU0
335Please respect copyright.PENANArBfs5tNrSb
“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.”335Please respect copyright.PENANAG9fkEEKkhc
335Please respect copyright.PENANAWt4CqcvP4b
“I’m driving us back.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANA8D5zTs4Gl1
“Suit yourself.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAmYj30OXY4Y
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAxp6uidWeBx
335Please respect copyright.PENANAA5UJPeA6IW
“What do you think?”335Please respect copyright.PENANAapzbSZrJjL
335Please respect copyright.PENANAqqpnTS1PkQ
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?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAj4JyDxPygt
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.”335Please respect copyright.PENANAgvV4zJpjev
335Please respect copyright.PENANATXG9K6k0I5
“Not startled but I like your personal touch.”335Please respect copyright.PENANA48laYRiaiQ
335Please respect copyright.PENANAjsladqQiQL
“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.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANApKx0tus2kG
When he neared, Faye lent out her hand first, “Faye and this is my soon to be wife, Cleo.”335Please respect copyright.PENANAUzfIrDGYCp
335Please respect copyright.PENANAqmrcwzk9Ey
I shook his hand next a bit too eagerly, “Hi nice to meet you.”335Please respect copyright.PENANAhhG65H5W8i
335Please respect copyright.PENANACgrYHatqLX
“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.”335Please respect copyright.PENANASV8xPZJYQt
335Please respect copyright.PENANAcfVA4tZMvL
“I was just about to ask if we’d have to hire our own but it’d be great to have you.”335Please respect copyright.PENANAwFS5GkR36V
335Please respect copyright.PENANAzRmwwHI0AU
“Do people normally just wander into this place?”335Please respect copyright.PENANAEngwuqRASC
335Please respect copyright.PENANAjdGYOYDZP1
“Yes Ms. soon to be wife. Only the best eyes catch our place.”335Please respect copyright.PENANAf5vjcTmPif
335Please respect copyright.PENANAF3Tez29suB
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.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANASZ7TYwWcRu
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.”335Please respect copyright.PENANAPM2PHqxF7d
335Please respect copyright.PENANAlLqbrAt5X8
“And I'll be awaiting that call. This really would be the perfect place.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAr9tbWd7oH4
“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.”335Please respect copyright.PENANAN5r6A6ZHGJ
335Please respect copyright.PENANA9ad2J3mRJx
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?”335Please respect copyright.PENANAGE53Waw9oY
335Please respect copyright.PENANApxwEOSQLuf
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.”335Please respect copyright.PENANAcROxUBUeaa
