Standing By: A Knight's Tale #2 (34 page)
We recite the conventional vows for the public audience, because we already made promises to each other and don’t feel it’s necessary to share them with the rest.
“By the power vested in me by the state of Hawaii, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.”
Mitch kisses me sweetly as everyone claps. This is the beginning of our happy life, the start of a thousand of adventures with the best man in the world. A man who will be standing by me as long as we exist and if there’s an afterlife, I’m sure we’ll continue sharing that one too.
“I love you, Hayl, with every cell of my body and may I add that you look stunning.”
“You may, Mr. Muffin. I love you too, and you look as handsome as usual,” I run my hands through his perfectly combed hair, messing it up. “Now, that’s more like it?”

Born on the mystical day of October 30th in the not so mystical lands of Mexico City, Claudia grew up with a childhood that resembled a caffeine-injected soap opera. Seventeen years ago she ventured to the lands of her techie husband—a.k.a. the U.S.—with their offspring to start a new adventure.
She now lives in Colorado working as a CFO for a small IT company, managing her household filled with three confused dogs, said nerd husband, two daughters wrought with fandoms and a son who thinks he’s the boss of the house. To survive she works continually to find purpose for the voices flitting through her head, plus she consumes high quantities of chocolate to keep the last threads of sanity intact.
