“I just have to say two things. First, you have improved so much in the past few weeks, and the care and concern you’re showing means I’ll be giving you a very favorable review when the time comes.” Sam held up a hand when Jameson opened his mouth. “No. It needs to be said.

Jameson wasn’t so sure, but he nodded again. “Okay.”
