The smile returned and she wondered how he does it, making her laugh often, even in her current predicament.

Judith nodded at his response with a lingering smile at one side of her lips.

"Wow!" he howled in excitement with both hands over his mouth. "That's straight up cold, never saw it coming"
"Having an imaginary friend as a child is cute but as an adult, it is something totally different…"
