How I picked

This is for you, Kamille.

I was agonizing over this decision, and finally decided to let it go, since I had already come to terms with the fact that I'd have to decide last minute. And that is exactly what happened.

One night, I woke up with a splitting headache. I could not sleep, nor could Alexander. I asked him to give me a blessing. It was 3:30 am, and he said, "well, you're going to have to decide what your full name is right now." I did not hesitate. "Katherine Sadler Lovett".

So, I guess I was right, it was last minute, in the middle of the night, and while I was clearly in pain. Brilliant.
