Owen and I had called ahead because it would be rude to show up at her parents’ house without at least some warning. I wondered what the hell she was doing.” Ivy laughed. “Come on, my mom prepared a feast for like thirty people. She kissed me again and then pushed away, glancing over the car to make sure her parents weren’t watching. “I know, but Owen was bitching about the Mexican food in Virginia, and I couldn’t wait till tomorrow.” I smiled down at her. I was planning on going through the mirror tomorrow.” She said, pulling away. She smiled up at me, stretching up on her toes to kiss me again.

“You’re beautiful.” As I stared down at her silky blonde hair and smooth sun-kissed skin, her wide almond-shaped green eyes, and the redness of her full lips, I couldn’t believe that she was mine. Seeing her again cemented my resolve about our relationship. That summer had taught me a lot about being a knight and my role in the universe. “I missed you so much.” She said, smiling up at me, her green eyes shimmering with magic.

She kissed me excitedly, meeting me enthusiastically. Pulling her to the other side of the car, out of the line-of-sight of the front windows, I pressed my mouth against hers. An overwhelming sense of both peace and urgency filled me as I held her tightly against me. The sweet scent of coconut filled my nose as I squeezed her against me. They high-fived, as Ivy ran passed him and threw herself into my arms. I closed the trunk as Owen walked towards her. “Our covers blown.” Owen smiled, giving a nod towards her direction. Ultimately, she respected the decision of her king.Ī shriek sounded to the left of us. She had thrown a fit when I told her I was leaving her behind, and then she asked what an airplane was. I wasn’t about to take a millennia-old-magical-six-foot-sword onto an airplane in a post 9/11 world. Excalibur was safely in the garden at my fathers’ house, but I knew if I needed her, she could be here in less than a minute. Popping the trunk, Owen and I grabbed our duffle bags. “Hey, the magic is happening.” He replied, tapping the side of his head. The trainers had put me at fifteen thousand calories a day – I was so tired of eating. It actually helped remind me to eat more. Apparently, the massive amount of magical knowledge Owen had acquired from the Codex forced his body to go through nutrition much faster now. “I’m starving,” Owen said, getting out of the car. Apparently, everything was bigger in Texas. Taking the proper exit, I followed the turns and twists of the suburb until I pulled up to Ivy’s gigantic mansion of a house. I wasn’t sure how we were going to fit in all those eating establishments in less than forty-eight hours. Owen pointed out every place he wanted to eat. Owen had now refused to eat Mexican food anywhere other than Texas, and I tended to agree with him.Īs we drove another half hour, the rain let up. “Oh, dude, Rosas.” He then pointed to a favorite Mexican food restaurant. It was like driving a damn riding lawnmower at seventy-five miles an hour. I hated this rental car, it was tiny, and the engine was only a four-cylinder. He gave me a grin and then resumed to starring out the window. “I promise, before we leave, I’ll get you Whataburger.” I then conceded. Owen let out a loud toddler-like huff and threw himself against the back of the seat, folding his arms over his chest. An asshole in a baby blue Prius was swerving between two lanes. People acted like they had never seen rain before. “We’re almost to her house, you can eat there.” I snapped, trying to keep my focus on the road. “Green chili cheeseburger with mustard, I need it.” Owen loved coming to Texas, just for the food. “Oh dude, Whataburger.” Owen gasped, his face pressed against the window.

At least I had a couple days to get my head right before then. Either way, it will all be determined at the convention. The knights would either swear fealty to me, or civil war will ensue. Though school wouldn’t start for another couple of weeks, we were meeting up before we attended the annual International Knights Convention in Washington, D.C. No one doubted the capabilities of Team Camelot, and it was absurd that they even had to participate in the camp in the first place. They both made it, of course, and were sent home in the first week. She and Owen had met up in June to attend the MBIU application camp. It was an amazing experience, but I was ready to see my girl. I had traveled all over the world, learning operational systems and tactics. I hadn’t seen her all summer, well at least in the real world since I took the squire position for Admiral Gilgamesh. Owen and I had just flown in from Virginia to surprise Ivy. It was a shitty rainy day as I carefully drove through the dense summer traffic in the Metroplex of Texas.
