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…”108Please respect copyright.PENANADZwWThfxvp
108Please respect copyright.PENANARGzanS3vrG
“They were driving me crazy. …I'm sorry.”
108Please respect copyright.PENANAPb72aSRR0K
“You need to let up.”108Please respect copyright.PENANAk99Xui9QEK
108Please respect copyright.PENANAB43KWpEjkQ
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!”108Please respect copyright.PENANA3JFdFcuzHw
108Please respect copyright.PENANAAX5bMV6pDS
“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.”
108Please respect copyright.PENANAGjTsVeU6MK
“Your giving her the benefit of a doubt.”108Please respect copyright.PENANAz5bIxt6bnR
108Please respect copyright.PENANA0PbhQdoomX
“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.”108Please respect copyright.PENANA1vQMY13Yw1
108Please respect copyright.PENANAHs56dYmFbv
“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.”108Please respect copyright.PENANAA0rMX6HJuD
108Please respect copyright.PENANAkN1QOh1PaK
“I know and I'm sorry. Maybe this place will be good this time.”
108Please respect copyright.PENANACyZUOoYoew
“I hope so.”
108Please respect copyright.PENANAiOLpMPsCqV
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.”
108Please respect copyright.PENANABnOjBKQAYh
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.”108Please respect copyright.PENANAcD8xhz0Or5
108Please respect copyright.PENANAldBHvKHFGx
“We’ll see.”108Please respect copyright.PENANAoV88cZ4G5c
108Please respect copyright.PENANACz430HwLWV
“It does sound wonderful doesn’t it?”108Please respect copyright.PENANAIxAaBXGGf2
108Please respect copyright.PENANAKAKRrAlzwW
“Like a dream honey. And it’s within our budget?”108Please respect copyright.PENANA3aTtcSGQ55
108Please respect copyright.PENANAqzuEbSTTtn
“Actually under it Ms. Hart. “108Please respect copyright.PENANAIbHw3sHWQc
108Please respect copyright.PENANAmCIyp0fPRe
“Sounds sketchy.”
108Please respect copyright.PENANADfsNCGBK2j
“Every single one we've been to sounded sketchy to you.”108Please respect copyright.PENANA6G8jbeEVfZ
108Please respect copyright.PENANArhOm1WvrcX
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.”108Please respect copyright.PENANAgCQt7OFRaU
108Please respect copyright.PENANAhBclvpT2RY
“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.”108Please respect copyright.PENANAvWxyyk52MR
108Please respect copyright.PENANAr5k6ZOe2m0
“And I think you already know my answer.”108Please respect copyright.PENANAYWXlM5UPAM
108Please respect copyright.PENANAe42O2yjcJM
“I’m sorry Ms. Hart and to you also Ms. King. I can still find some other destinations for you.”108Please respect copyright.PENANA4jO75qfbHN
108Please respect copyright.PENANA5LnjVbu6ps
“No, I've by now lost interest. Let’s go Cleo.”108Please respect copyright.PENANAJQgtuR6v2c
108Please respect copyright.PENANALetTaHr4kD
“I’ll drop off a check for your time later on.”
108Please respect copyright.PENANAnd28MbIJc5
“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?”108Please respect copyright.PENANAxovJwCkapS
108Please respect copyright.PENANAKSPGThHf23
“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.108Please respect copyright.PENANAgMN0MiJh02
108Please respect copyright.PENANAATVopyfSH3
“I gotta go before she does that again. You have to be the one to change your life ok?”108Please respect copyright.PENANAX84CbpNXDN
108Please respect copyright.PENANAWtJHL0ukpc
“Thank you.”108Please respect copyright.PENANAyxst3VW6a7

“Wake up Faye. Look at this,” I shook her vigorously until she jumped up looking out to the place I parked in front of.
108Please respect copyright.PENANAUGn54Cz3s9
108Please respect copyright.PENANAeGVskfQ5Gs
“Whoa. Wait where are we?”
108Please respect copyright.PENANATUDwonk1nC
“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.”108Please respect copyright.PENANApxf8lnJKKQ
108Please respect copyright.PENANAP5uo9kqNmg
“There is no way this place is close to the cabin.”108Please respect copyright.PENANAmHHvjvPCWq
108Please respect copyright.PENANARRqb4Ho4NB
“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.”108Please respect copyright.PENANASqr3OWSDJ6
108Please respect copyright.PENANAIyCYk5Myrd
“I’m driving us back.”
108Please respect copyright.PENANAAfHzTAMLNB
“Suit yourself.”

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.
108Please respect copyright.PENANAHXbjzCb7xz
108Please respect copyright.PENANAhLQoOqwN4E
“What do you think?”108Please respect copyright.PENANAKlzSlJvkS3
108Please respect copyright.PENANAVZ1NUYM4Zp
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?”
108Please respect copyright.PENANAMy7y8yS5tQ
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.”108Please respect copyright.PENANAA0Prd8rQyr
108Please respect copyright.PENANA7Xk9imcgEA
“Not startled but I like your personal touch.”108Please respect copyright.PENANA3oVq08E41M
108Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9GsLMAzU1
“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.”
108Please respect copyright.PENANALi0VBDY3uV
When he neared, Faye lent out her hand first, “Faye and this is my soon to be wife, Cleo.”108Please respect copyright.PENANAibJSmyXcjE
108Please respect copyright.PENANAx1MCewCECx
I shook his hand next a bit too eagerly, “Hi nice to meet you.”108Please respect copyright.PENANAFBaL1lEhL0
108Please respect copyright.PENANA71YXBbCJnu
“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.”108Please respect copyright.PENANADkauYS5JpA
108Please respect copyright.PENANAasrlRDuusU
“I was just about to ask if we’d have to hire our own but it’d be great to have you.”108Please respect copyright.PENANAGHccG1cz0s
108Please respect copyright.PENANA7SQ1LthxLS
“Do people normally just wander into this place?”108Please respect copyright.PENANAwGrm80cHHU
108Please respect copyright.PENANAj9UT848StD
“Yes Ms. soon to be wife. Only the best eyes catch our place.”108Please respect copyright.PENANAeuzVperzTO
108Please respect copyright.PENANAirFiScbx55
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.”
108Please respect copyright.PENANAGACp4DVuaI
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.”108Please respect copyright.PENANAxHtUMMw3I5
108Please respect copyright.PENANAfUdAb2gYoN
“And I'll be awaiting that call. This really would be the perfect place.”
108Please respect copyright.PENANANkqV4TDiFM
“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.”108Please respect copyright.PENANAqwLjmAWRD3
108Please respect copyright.PENANAgNJ4vkH0Fr
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?”108Please respect copyright.PENANAsIbnpaAvu5
108Please respect copyright.PENANApzJTUECGIN
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.”108Please respect copyright.PENANAnc6cB25fPR
