They genuinely brought a happy smile to his face. “As someone who has been around since you’ve been working on your drawings, I can say with all the certainty in the world that you have improved,’’ Jude commended in his best grown up voice as though he were complimenting someone turning in their work for the prestigious position of an illustrator.
