Henry looked up, trying to figure out which refined, important-looking man was holding him now. Was this his other godfather?

Asher wasn't having it. He reached over to take Henry back. "Sure, maybe things will be easier, but Conner's still stuck with all of Mr. Nettleton's baggage. What's he supposed to do about all that?"
