Keith at church tomorrow

I make a hasty exit.
Hmm. Baptize Hunter? I’ve
never considered it, let alone
who I’d want to take care
of him, should something
bad happen to me. I don’t
have any friends who could
fill such big shoes. Mom
and Scott? Can grandparents
be godparents? Maybe Leigh?
But would I have to name her
partner, too? And how would
Pastor Keith feel about that?
