But Emma persists and is determined to make this match a reality, despite having little interest in getting married herself. --------------------------------------------------------------- • • • • • (Smiling) punctuation • Pratt Munson anime club stickers CraftLit’s socials: • Find everything here: • Join the newsletter: • Podcast site: • Facebook: • Facebook group: • Pinterest: • TikTok podcast: • Email: • Check out the list of previous CraftLit Classics here: Support the show links: Subscribe to the Premium feed (on the app) here: or on Patreon: (same price, $5/month) • Download the FREE CraftLit App for iOS or Android (you can call or email feedback straight from within the app) • Call 1-206-350-1642
